He was born in 1868, in Lanchkhuti (Guria region of Western Georgia).

In 1918 he was appointed as the Premier Minister of the Democratic Republic of Georgia (DRG), the first Republic of Georgia. From 1918 to 1921 this state was recognised by various countries including Germany, United Kingdom, France, and Russia.
