Dude actually made this tweet on 3rd February, two days before the dreaded quake hit Turkey:

Sooner or later there will be a ~M 7.5 #earthquake in this region (South-Central Turkey, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon). #deprem

What's interesting about this researcher is that he doesn't study earthquakes through the traditional or established way of Seismology. Instead, his institute, SSGEOS specializes in "monitoring geometry between celestial bodies related to seismic activity". It's incredible how little we know about the world we live in and how much more there is to know yet.
