The Organization of the

Association of Smyrneans

The Association of Smyrneans was founded in February 1936 by a number of reputable Smyrneans and was recognized by the Athens Court of first instance with the No. 3664/25.4.1936 resolution, as a Utility Union.

The object of the Association is the safeguarding and preservation of all memories and traditions of Greek populations of Asia Minor before 1922.

The Association of Smyrneans publishes an Asia Minor newspaper, conducts symposiums, conferences, and book presentations relating to Smyrna and Asia Minor, awarding prizes to distinguished people originating from Asia Minor that honor the roots of the people, and cooperate with scientific institutions and cultural foundations and similar organizations.
