Аnnotation: The continental collision region of Eurasia and Arabia is one of the most seismically active and rapidly deforming continental regions of the Earth. The wide range of deformation processes occurring in this relatively limited region makes the Caucasus as a whole, and in particular its central parts, a unique place where we can improve our understanding of the complexities of the stress-strain state, as well as the seismicity associated with them. During the instrumental observation period, strong earthquakes were recorded here, such as Bezhtinskoe of 04.08.1974 ( M
