Olive culture in Georgia was designed by an association founded by Georgians originally living in Turkey. There are five Georgian cultural associations in Bursa, Inegoli, Iznik, Orhangazi and Gemlik districts, where meetings are held every month, which serve the purpose of developing Georgian culture and relations with Georgia.
