Parliament banned the Islamic State of Iraq and the Sham (ISIS), along with four other groups also linked to the crisis in Syria and Iraq: Abdullah Azzam Brigades, including the Ziyad al-Jarrah Battalions (AAB/ZJB); Kateeba al-Kawthar (KaK); Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command (PFLP-GC); and Turkiye Halk Kurtulus Partisi-Cephesi (THKP-C).
