Gjergj Qiriazi was born in Monastir (modern Bitola), Ottoman Empire (now North Macedonia), where he attended school.

He attended the school in 1885–1889, but left Bulgaria before graduating, to avoid mandatory conscription into the Bulgarian army.

[9] In 1909, the Young Turk government planned to assassinate Qiriazi for his involvement in the Albanian national movement.

He helped his brother Gejrasim to publish two volumes of literature, namely Hristomathi a udhëheqës për ç'do shtëpi shqiptari (Monastir, 1902) and a co-wrote with him a collection of religious verse Kënkë të shenjtëruara (Monastir, 1906).

[11] Qiriazi also translated John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress as Udhëtari, printed in 1927 by Dhori Koti publishers.
