Its official name in [[Greek language|Greek]] was Peraia or Pera Meria (place that lies across), which translates into Karsiyaka in Turkish, as it lies across from [[Smyrna]], to its NW. On its eastern side it borders [[Bournova]].<br /> <br /> The population of Kordelio, prior to the [[Asia Minor disaster]], was 15,000 - mostly [[Greeks]]. Unlike [[Smyrna]], Kordelio was left intact when the Turkish troops entered it in September [[1922]]. Much of its old charm remains to this day.<br /> <br /> In modern times Kordelio has become an independent municipality and its population has increased greatly. It boasts of the Karsiyaka football club.<br /> <br /> Kordelio is remembered today by Greeks of [[Asia Minor]] ancestry thanks to several old songs that make mention of it (&quot;Αραμπάς περνά&quot;, &quot;Τί σε μέλλει εσένανε&quot;) as well as songs written after [[1922]] (&quot;Κορδελιώτισσα&quot;, &quot;Πήρε φωτιά το Κορδελιό&quot;).<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Asia Minor]]</div>
