This paper is one of a series papers dealing with the investigation Lower ionospheric variation on occasion an intense tectonic activity.In present paper, we investigate TEC variations during seismic activity in transition between Dead Sea fault and East Anatolian (SE Turkey) February 6th, 2023. The Total Electron Content (TEC) data are been provided by EUREF Network. These were analysed using Discrete Fourier Analysis order to turbulence band content. results this indicate that High-Frequency limit fo content, increases as aproaching occurrence time earthquake, pointing earthquake epicenter, accordane our previous investigations. We conclude Lithosphere Atmosphere Ionosphere Coupling, LAIC, mechanism through acoustic or gravity waves could explain phenomenology.   Keywords: Seismicity, Ionosphere, Ionospheric Turbulence, Brownian Walk, Fault.
