The [[Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist–Leninist]] (TKP/ML) is a Maoist organisation in Turkey currently waging a people's war against the [[Cabinet of Turkey|Turkish government]]. It was founded in 1972 as a split from another illegal Maoist party, the [[Revolutionary Workers' and Peasants' Party of Turkey]] (TİİKP), which [[Doğu Perinçek]] founded in 1969, led by [[İbrahim Kaypakkaya]]. The party's armed wing is named the Workers' and Peasants' Liberation Army in Turkey (TİKKO). TİİKP is succeeded by the [[Patriotic Party (Turkey)|Patriotic Party]], headed by Perinçek. Though [[Doğu Perinçek|Perinçek]] was significantly influenced by Mao, the Patriotic Party says he's not a Maoist, instead saying that he embraced "Mao's contributions to the literature of the world revolution and scientific socialism" and "adapted them to Turkey's conditions".<ref>{{Cite web |title="Perinçek 70'lerde Maocu, 80'lerde Kürtçü şimdi de Atatürkçü oldu" diyenler var.
