  Our nation needs leadership free of special interest control and long entrenched relationships. If we keep replacing leaders but never get around to fixing the systemic issues that allow corruption of the process. Putting new people in charge of a broken machine does not fix the machinery. We need checks and balances that are free of undue, or improper influence. We need political reform. People must drive the effort. In our increasingly busy lives it becomes harder to do so. Nevertheless, this is the task at hand, and it is up to us to take it on. The Citizens Party exists as a common sense guide, and organizational system in this effort. Show less

Tiflis Hamkari • ტფილისის ჰამქარი

• Chairperson • თავმჯდომარე

  • Jan 2006 - Nov 2012

  As the founding father of Tbilisi caretaker's union, I devoted myself to campaigning for the awareness of historic values, cultural heritage and its greater importance in building the future Tbilisi city. Since its inception in 2006, Hamkari has led protest rallies to save several landmark buildings across Georgia’s capital from demolition. Started by a handful of activists, the movement climaxed in 2011 and 2012 when it drew hundreds to rallies to save Gudiashvili square, a small pocket of urban green area in old Tbilisi. Show less
