Christian-Democratic Movement (Georgia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Christian-Democratic Movement (Georgian: ქრისტიანულ-დემოკრატიული მოძრაობა, k’ristianul-demokratiuli modzraoba) is a political party in Georgia, founded in February 2008 and led by Giorgi Targamadze, formerly a Imedi TV anchor who had once been a Member of the Parliament of Georgia and a close ally of Aslan Abashidze, then a regional leader of Adjara. Former Imedi TV journalists Magda Anikashvili and Giorgi Akhvlediani and former Imedi producer Levan Vepkhvadze, all of whom left the station in January 2008, also joined the party.

The party has declared making Orthodox Christianity the state religion as its top priority and is currently preparing for the May 21 2008 Georgian legislative election.[1]
