In a recent study, Papadakis et al. (Physica A 456: 135–144, 2016) investigate seismicity in Greece, using the non-extensive statistical physics formalism. Moreover, these authors examine the spatial distribution of the non-extensive parameter qM and show that for shallow seismicity, increase of qM coincides with strong events. However, their study also reveals low qM values along the North Aegean Trough, despite the presence of strong events during 1976–2009. Consequently, the present study further examines the temporal behaviour of parameters qM and A, to reveal their relation with the evolution of the earthquake sequence. Through temporal examination of these parameters, we aim to show that the seismogenic system of the North Aegean Trough presents high degree of interactions after strong earthquakes during the studied period. Our findings indicate that increase of qM signifies the existence of long-range correlations. If its value does not significantly decrease after a strong earthquake (i.e. M ≥ 5) then the studied area has not reached the state of equilibrium.
