There was a strong Greek presence in western Turkey dating from their settlement there nearly three thousand years before. These people had come under Turkish rule in the 15th Century CE.
After World War I when Turkey was defeated in 1918, Greece tried reclaim the these cities and war between Greece and Turkey continued on until 1923, when Greece gave up and evacuated the people of Greek origin who wanted to leave back to Greece.
Interestingly, two and a half thousand years earlier, when the Persian invasion of Greece was defeated, Sparta wanted to evacuate these Greeks in Asia Minor to stop the ongoing trouble they caused with Persia. Athens had another plan - to free the cities and turn them into an empire of it's own. So the Greeks stayed until 1923 before the Spartan plan was implemented 2500 years late.
