Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for information. I came to do same and happy to you did it.

Thats very good news. Georgian church and Catholikos-Patriarch Ilia II always supporting for reinstate to monarchy. Now Georgia need little time and people will be ready to have king and royal family. I'm very happy for that and soon Georgia will became again Georgian Kingdom and we will have our excellent Bagrationi Royal Dynasty. The Bagrationi Dynasty ruled Georgian Kingdom for 1200 years until 1801 years when russians came and taken our independece, Royal familes and Georgian Church's Autocephaly. God bless Georgia and Georgian Royal Family.

Very interesting views. How does the present President feel about this ??

[Benjamin]

Dear lyndaW,

It's not clear from the reports in the English-language press I've seen. The president joked about it the other day so perhaps he doesn't take it seriously.

Political Game of King-Making in Georgia
26 Oct 2007
Restoring the monarchy in Georgia has become a declared goal of the United Opposition, an umbrella of numerous small parties. Their leaders have quickly moved from the slogan “Georgia Without a President”—meaning without President Mikheil Saakashvili—to the idea of monarchical restoration...rest of article

Thats really really bad review. He is russian guy and will write everything dishonor. The situation is different and Patriarch give really good chance the government and opposition to not make new fight for power and new revolution or something like that.

I hope soon will be referendum about reinstate monarchy in Georgia and people will vote yes for it. The Georgian Orthodox Church have nothing with political power and will not in the future. Their only aim is to help people give much information about monarchy and then people decide need it or not.

[Benjamin]

Thanks for your perspective, Iverieli. Do you know what became of the 25 October parliamentary discussions that were supposed to be held in Georgia on this topic?

[Marcus]

Very interesting topic indeed.
No news about the possible restoration of the Monarchy in Georgia?
The civil unrest that happens now in Georgia could lead to a restoration of the Monarchy?
Please those close to the subject give us some insight...

[Iverieli]

Ohh November was very worst month. The President did so many mistakes and now we awaiting new presidential election on 5th January 2008.

The monarchy will reinstate in the future may be next 3-4 years because all political parties in Georgia excluded government party supporting monarchy and all of them meant political party leaders are ready to do referendum and support. Georgia needs little time to became stable again and then soon will be referendum.

Georgian Orthodox Church and Georgian Patriarch is main supporter and Patriarch will say who might be Georgian King. This is a reality and soon we will have Monarchy and Bagrationi royal dynasty in Georgia.

[Marcus]

So what is going to happen today?
The presidential elections in Georgia are being held today, would it be a step in the restoration of the monarchy?
What do you think?

HRH Prince Nugzar of Georgia (born August 25, 1950, in Tbilisi, Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic) is the head of the Royal House of Georgia.



Prince Nugzar is the son of Prince Petre Bagration-Gruzinski of Georgia (1920-1984), a prominent poet and Head of the Royal House of Georgia from 1939 to 1984 and his second wife Liya Mgeladze (b. August 8, 1926). Prince Nugzar is the director of the Tbilisi theatre of cinema artists.
On 18 December 2007 Nugzar met with Kristiina Ojuland, the Vice-President of the Riigikogu (the parliament of Estonia) at the Mariott-Tbilisi hotel in which Ojuland "paid homage to the Bagrationi dynasty who has made an extraordinary contribution to the upholding of Georgia".
Currently, Prince Nugzar is the senior descendent in the male line of George XII, the last King of Georgia. Historian Raul Chagunava who has researched the Bagrationi family believes Bagration-Gruzinsky is the rightful heir to the throne. Nino Bagrationi a 90-year-old direct descendant of Solomon II also recognizes the claim of Bagration-Gruzinsky. After Nugzar the next senior descendant in the male line is Prince Peter Bagration-Gruzinsky (b. 1916) followed by his son Prince Eugene (b. 1947).

Nugzar was married to Leila Kipiani (b. Tbilisi July 16, 1947) on February 10, 1971 and they have two daughters:

• Princess Anna of Georgia b. Tbilisi November 1, 1976
• Princess Maya of Georgia b. Tbilisi January 2, 1978

If the Georgian nation wants the king again, and there are two people claiming to the throne, the Georgians should choose among them...
