The Islamic State – Turkey province (IS–TP; Arabic: الدولة الإسلامية – ولاية تركيا; Turkish: İslam Devleti – Türkiye Vilayeti) is a branch of the Islamic State (IS), active in Turkey. The group was formed on 10 July 2019. IS-TP is far less active than other established Islamic State provinces, notably the Islamic State – West Africa Province (ISWAP) and Islamic State – Khorasan Province (ISIS–K).[1]
The group was never as active as other Islamic State factions. All previous Islamic State attacks in Turkey were committed by the Dokumacılar, an unofficial cell.[2] [3]
The Turkey Province is not based off the borders of the Republic of Turkey, as the Islamic State views those borders as unnatural and made by disbelievers. The Turkey Province includes only the Turkish regions of Anatolia, while the Laz regions of the Black Sea are part of the Caucasus Province, the Arab regions of Hatay, Kilis, and Urfa are part of the Levant (Sham) Province, and the Kurdish regions are part of the Kurdistan Province.[4]
The group carried out the 2024 Istanbul church shooting.
