Tu Ali-ye Olya is a village in Minjavan-e Sharqi Rural District, Minjavan District, Khoda Afarin County, East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 265, in 66 families.
In the wake of White Revolution a clan of Mohammad Khanlu tribe, comprising 35 households, used Tu Ali-ye Olya as their winter quarters. These semi-settled nomads spent summer months in pastures located between Chaparli and Aqdash. Their pastors' proximity to meadows in Abbasabad territory was a bone of contention that caused frequent clashes. Finally inhabitants of Abbasabad gave the bordering meadows to the well connected cleric, Mohamad Zakeri, and the territorial infringement ceased thereafter. In recent years most nomads have settled.
Tu Ali-ye Olya has a historical citadel named "Gavir" situated in south.Sopken language is Azerbaijani.
The village has an elevation of 510 meters above sea level
