The East Turkestan People's Revolutionary Party (Uyghur: Shärqiy Turkistan Khälq Inqilawi Partiyisi; Chinese: 东突厥斯坦人民革命党) was a Uyghur communist party[citation needed] and armed separatist group in Xinjiang.

It was founded in 1969 or earlier[2] during Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution, and was the largest armed separatist group in the Xinjiang conflict before its dissolution in 1989.

[3] The ETPRP's goal was to initiate a second "Revolution of the Three Districts" to establish an independent Marxist–Leninist Uyghur state in the Xinjiang region[citation needed], with help from the Soviet Union.

Support from the Soviets increased during the Sino-Soviet split and subsequent border dispute.

[1] After a failed insurrection in 1969, the ETPRP gradually weakened due to the arrest and exile of most of their members.
