  abstract = {{I}n the current plate tectonics paradigm, relative plate motions are assumed to remain unperturbed by temporal stress changes occurring during the seismic cycle, whereby stress slowly built up along tectonic plate boundaries is suddenly released by rapid fault slip during earthquakes. {H}owever, direct observations that could challenge such a tenet have not been identified so far. {H}ere we show that the rigid motion of the whole {A}natolian microplate, measured using space geodetic techniques, was altered by the stress released during the 1999 {I}zmit-{D}uzce earthquakes, which ruptured along the {N}orth {A}natolian {F}ault. {T}his kinematic change requires a torque change that is in agreement with the torque change imparted upon the {A}natolian microplate by the {I}zmit-{D}uzce coseismic stress release. {T}his inference holds across realistic ranges of data noise and controlling parameters, and is not hindered by active deformation in western {A}natolia. {T}hese results suggest the existence of a whole-plate kinematic signal associated with the stress released by large earthquakes.},
