The Asia Minor Greeks (Greek: Μικρασιάτες, romanized: Mikrasiates), also known as Asiatic Greeks or Anatolian Greeks, make up the ethnic Greek populations who lived in Asia Minor from the 13th century BC as a result of Greek colonization, up until the forceful population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, though some communities in Asia Minor survive to the present day.
