The Asia Minor Greeks (Template:Lang-el), also known as Asiatic Greeks or Anatolian Greeks, make up the ethnic Greek populations who lived in Asia Minor from 1200s BCE as a result of Greek colonization[1] until the forceful population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, though some communities in Asia Minor survive to the present day.

Cappadocian Greeks

Main article: Cappadocian Greeks

Cappadocian Greeks also known as Greek Cappadocians (Template:Lang-el; Template:Lang-tr)[2] or simply Cappadocians are an ethnic Greek community native to the geographical region of Cappadocia in central-eastern Anatolia.

Pontic Greeks

Main article: Pontic Greeks

The Pontic Greeks (Template:Lang-el, romanized: Póndii or Ελληνοπόντιοι, romanized: Ellinopóndii; Template:Lang-tr or Karadeniz Rumları, Georgian: პონტოელი ბერძნები, romanized: P’ont’oeli Berdznebi) are an ethnically Greek[3][4] group who traditionally lived in the region of Pontus, on the shores of the Black Sea and in the Pontic Mountains of northeastern Anatolia.

The Pontic (sometimes Pontian) Greek genocide is the term applied to the massacres and deportations perpetuated against ethnic Greeks living in the Ottoman Empire at the hands of the Young Turk government between 1914 and 1923. The name of this people derives from the Greek word pontus, meaning "sea coast," and refers to the Greek population that lived on the south-eastern coast of the Black Sea, that is, in northern Turkey, for three millennia.
