On the basis of component datasets of GPS velocity points of Azerbaijan and adjacent territories, the distribution of stress concentration along Azerbaijan part of Main Caucasus Thrust (MCT) was studied. Conducted a complex analysis of epicenters distribution, earthquake focal mechanisms and earthquake energy, and also GPS velocity allows revealing the four zones with various levels of seismicity: Balakan-Zagatala; Sheki-Gabala; Shamakhi-Ismailli and Absheron zones.
