The terms Asia Minor Greeks, Anatolian Greeks or Mikrasiates (Greek: Μικρασιάτες, romanized: Mikrasiates), refer to the Greek populations who lived in Asia Minor from the 13th century BC, up until the forceful population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, following the Treaty of Lausanne; since then most of the Asia Minor Greeks had migrated to Greece. Today, many Greeks descending from Asia Minor Greek refugees live all over Greece and the diaspora.
