The government will pronounce Wednesday the dissolution of the Turkish ultra-nationalist movement of the Gray Wolves in the Council of Ministers, announced Monday the Minister of the Interior Gerald Darmanin before the commission of the laws of the National Assembly.

This is "a particularly aggressive de facto grouping, to put it mildly," assured Gerald Darmanin, whose announcement comes in a context of strong diplomatic tensions between France and Turkey around the treatment of Muslims in France.

The small group of Gray Wolves has been singled out in particular after incidents that opposed Turkish and Armenian communities last week in Décines-Charpieu, near Lyon.

On Wednesday evening, security forces intervened in this city, a high place of the Armenian diaspora, to prevent 250 members of the Turkish community - finally fined for non-compliance with the curfew - to "do battle" with the Armenians.

The same day, in the morning, a brawl had opposed these two communities on the A7 motorway, at the Vienna toll, leaving four injured, including one serious.

An inscription "Gray Wolves" was also tagged on the genocide memorial and the Armenian National Center of Remembrance near Lyon, desecrated during the night from Saturday to Sunday.

The dissolution of the CCIF will also soon be considered

This ultranationalist group, whose rallying sign is a thumb attached to the middle and ring fingers, is known to be close to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who recently questioned the “mental health” of Emmanuel Macron.

During his hearing at the Assembly, Gérald Darmanin also indicated that the dissolution of the Collective against Islamophobia in France (CCIF), announced in the wake of the assassination of Samuel Paty on October 16, would be examined "in 15 days ".
