PRIME MINISTER OF GEORGIA

The 'Prime Minister of Georgia' is the most senior minister within the Cabinet of Georgia of the Republic of Georgia.
The office of Prime Minister was first established in 1918 with the foundation of the Democratic Republic of Georgia, but was abolished when Georgia became part of the Soviet Union. It was recreated when Georgia became independent again. Between 8 December 1995 and 17 February 2004, the office was known as "Minister of State", but has now reverted to Prime Minister.
If Prime Ministers from both before and after the Soviet annexation are included, a total of twelve people have served as Prime Ministers of Georgia.
