A Cheta (Albanian: çeta; Bulgarian: чета; Serbian: чета/četa; Turkish: çete; Greek: τσέτης) was an armed band organized by the mostly Bulgarian, Serbian, Orthodox Christian population on the territory of the Ottoman Empire that undertook anti-Turkish activity. The cheta was usually led by a leader, called voivoda. The members of the chetas were called chetniks.
