The Patriotic Party[a] (Turkish: Vatan Partisi, VP) is a political party in Turkey. The Patriotic Party describes itself as a "vanguard party"[5] and its chairman, Doğu Perinçek, described the party in 2015 as a bringing together of socialists, revolutionaries, Turkish nationalists and Kemalists. The party is strongly pro-China and pro-Russia as well as anti-American. The party also supports President Erdoğan and what it considers to be his anti-imperialist policies.

In particular, Özdağ called on Erdoğan and his ally Nationalist Movement (MHP) Party leader Devlet Bahçeli to break with Doğu Perinçek, the leader of the radical left-wing Vatan Party (Homeland Party), who is known in Turkey for his pro-China support.

The 2017 referendum cooperation with the MHP, was transformed into the People's Alliance for the presidential election in 2018, and despite the differences that arose prior to the 2019 local elections that speculated a possible split, its ultra-conservative twist was undersigned by the support 26 from the nationalist left wing Vatan Party, the pro-military AS Party and the conservative Motherland Party.

Perinçek, on the other side, is the candidate for the leftist Patriotic Party (VP), the successor of the socialist and workers' party.

In today's Turkey it is Doğu Perinçek's "Vatan Partisi" ("Homeland Party", or "Patriotic Party"), which expressly views itself in the tradition of left Kemalism. Perinçek himself was also a member of the 1968 movement and co-founder of the "Devrimci İşçi-Köylü Partisi" (Revolutionary Workers and Peasants Party of Turkey, 1971). A quick search in the internet reveals that the Vatan Partisi is alternately labelled as a left-nationalist, left-Kemalist, or ultranationalist party.
