Maoist Insurgency in Turkey also known as People's War in Turkey (Turkish: ''Halk savaşı''), is a low level insurgency occurring in eastern Turkey between the Turkish government and Maoist rebels that appears to have begun in the 1980s. The insurgency declined in the late '80s and 1990s and has been sidelined by the larger Kurdish separatist conflict. Low level armed attacks continue to be carried out by insurgent groups. The most significant of which are Liberation Army of the Worker's and Peasant's of Turkey (TİKKO) - armed wing of Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist–Leninist and People's Liberation Army (HKO) and People's Guerrilla Forces (PHG), both armed wings of the Maoist Communist Party ==History== On April 4, 1972, the Communist Party of Turkey/Marxist–Leninist (sometimes TKP/ML is incorrectly referred to as "Partizan" after the name of one of its publications) was formed by a radical group led by İbrahim Kaypakkaya, it crafted 11-point program and intended to wage a People's War. However a year later Kaypakkaya was captured, tortured and killed. In 1978 the first conference was carried out affirming the TKP/ML's direction towards People's War and guerrilla warfare, however little progress was made in this direction.〔(bannedthought.net )〕 TKP/ML was involved in political violence between left and right wing groups in the 70s. TKP/ML's military wing, the Liberation Army of the Worker's and Peasant's of Turkey (TiKKO), carried out militant and guerrilla actions in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s, mainly in the Tunceli region, who's inhabitants saw the Maoist guerrilla war as revenge for the Dersim Massacre in 1938.〔Construction of a Nation: The Early Years of the Turkish Republic and Dersim Events〕 TiKKO reached its height during this period carrying out guerrilla warfare in the mountainous areas of the Tunceli region.〔Turkey and the War on Terror: "For Fortey Years we Fought Alone", page 27〕 In the late 1980s the TKP/ML suffered from a series of splits following the party's second congress. 1993 TKP/ML attempted to reunifiy with the DABK group which ultimately proved unsuccessful. The rise of the Kurdistan Workers' Party and the internal strife and ideological problems within the TKP/ML led to a sharp decline, TiKKO organisation outside of the Tunceli region practically disappeared.〔Syncretistic Religious Communities in the Near East: Collected Papers of the Symposium, page15〕 On May 17, 1985, TKP/ML broadcast propaganda message to millions of television viewers in Istanbul, replacing the soundtrack for the evening news.〔A World to Win Magazine, 1985, "TKP/ML seizes the airwaves 8PM News Break"〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maoist insurgency in Turkey」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
