Arveladze, a specialist in international law, replaces Irakli Okruashvili who resigned on November 17 after being shifted into the position a week earlier from his job as defense minister.
Okruashvili had taken a tough stance during his 11 months in the defense job on Georgia's breakaway South Ossetia region.
