The Great Georgian Caper: How Many Iranians Are Hiding in the Khachapuri?
Ah, Georgia! Land of delicious fermented grape juice (wine, for the uninitiated), breathtaking mountain ranges, and... Iranians? That's right, folks. There seems to be a bit of a Persian party going on over there, and we're here to get to the bottom of it (with a glass of Saperavi in hand, of course).

| How Many Iranians Live In Georgia |
So, how many Iranians are we talking about here?
Hold onto your khinkali! Estimates suggest there are around 16,500 Iranians living in Georgia as of 2021. That's a significant number, considering the total population of Georgia is around 3.7 million.
But why Georgia, you ask?
Well, that's the million-dollar (or should we say lari) question. The reasons are as varied as the spices in a good ajika. Here are a few possibilities:
- Georgian hospitality is legendary: Maybe the Iranians just heard rumors of endless supra feasts and couldn't resist.
- Business is booming: Georgia's economy is on the rise, and perhaps some Iranian entrepreneurs saw an opportunity to join the party.
- Escape from the hustle and bustle: Maybe they just wanted a break from the big-city life in Tehran and fancied a more relaxed pace with stunning mountain views.
Whatever the reason, it seems Iranians are finding something they like in Georgia.
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
Are they there to steal all the khachapuri?
Absolutely not! There's more than enough cheesy goodness to go around. In fact, maybe the Iranians will bring some saffron rice to the table and we can have a delicious cultural exchange.
Besides, sharing is caring, and khachapuri is best enjoyed with friends (new and old).
