In the course of our research quantitative characteristics of self-similarity of seismic process covering Azerbaijan territory were calculated. Fractal dimension of earthquakes distribution by energy, fractal dimensions of earthquakes epicentral distribution De and Azerbaijan fault network Df were estimated. The character of possible potential connection between parameter of b in Gutenberg-Richter recurrence law and fractal dimensions of active fault network and earthquakes epicentral distribution is also considered. Obtained fractal indicators correlate with the ratio describing theoretical connection between fractal dimensions and parameter of b.
