Aristeidis Stergiadis

1861–1949 · 20th century

Aristeidis Stergiadis (1861–1949) was a Greek lawyer and administrator, appointed by Eleftherios Venizelos as High Commissioner of the Smyrna zone from 1919 to 1922. Born in Crete, he was known for his stern efforts to treat Muslims and Christians impartially, which made him unpopular with many local Greeks. He left Smyrna as Turkish forces approached in September 1922 and spent the rest of his life in exile in France.
