On 17 August, 1999 an earthquake of 7. 4 magnitude on Richter scale struck city of Izmit in Turkey. As a result 17000 people died and almost 500,000 people were rendered homeless.
the epicenter of the earthquake is where the earthquake hit. technically, you need three epicenters the find where the earthquake actually hit, though. Edit: The epicenter is the location on the surface traced to by seismographs for people to get an idea of where the earthquake happened. The hypocenter is where the earthquake actually happened below the surface.
yes, in 2010 an earthquake happened with a magnitude of 2.2
A small earthquake that happens after a larger one is called an aftershock. Aftershocks happen because the crust in the area where the main earthquake happened is adjusting to the earthquake's effects.

6.0
What do you mean? This happened in 526 A.D. there was no turkey back then. (The country, not the land) But, lets say that there happened to be a Turkey back then, I would guess because it was a 7.0 and not a 10.0 or something, probably no more than 500 american dollars. (Don't know turkeys money system)
