The Turkish extremist nationalist organization Gray Wolves, which was also involved in the recent violence against the Armenian community in France, was dissolved today by a French cabinet decision following the relevant order of President Emanuel Macron.
“The Gray Wolf movement dissolved during the cabinet meeting, in accordance with the orders of the President of the Republic,” Geral Darmanen said, adding that the organization “incited discrimination and hatred and was involved in violence. “.
The Gray Wolves organization was founded in the 1970s as a paramilitary branch of the extremist fascist ideology of the Turkish MHP (Nationalist Action Party). The Gray Wolves became known in the 1980s for their violent actions against left-wing activists and minorities.
The organization is active in Turkey, but also within the Turkish diaspora in Europe and today it is close to Tayyip Erdogan, without adopting his religious rhetoric.
“Many of the nuclei of this movement have been located on French soil and its members are participating in training camps,” said the decree of dissolution of the organization.
The Gray Wolves promote an ideology of “discrimination to the point of inciting violence against people of Kurdish or Armenian descent,” the decree says.
The text mentions a military training camp in the Ardes region in December 2019, “armed demonstrations” against these minorities, such as in Rennes in November 2016 and in Dessin-Sarpier, near Lyon last July.
Last week there was new violence by the gray wolves against the Armenian community in Vienna and Dijon under the pretext of the war in Nagorno-Karabakh, between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which Turkey supports.
On Sunday, a monument to the Armenian genocide was desecrated with the inscription “Gray Wolves” in the Lyon area, and on Monday new anti-Armenian inscriptions were found in Mezie and on the walls of the Armenian consulate in Lyon.
