La police empêche des Turcs d'en «découdre» dans un haut lieu de la communauté arménienne

Les forces de l'ordre sont intervenues mercredi soir pour empêcher «plusieurs dizaines» de membres de la communauté turque d'en «découdre» avec des Arméniens à Décines-Charpieu, haut-lieu de cette diaspora en France, a annoncé jeudi 29 octobre la préfecture.

Un important dispositif policier, fort d'une centaine d'hommes, a été mis en place «dans le but de rétablir l'ordre républicain» dans cette ville de banlieue lyonnaise qui abrite le mémorial du génocide arménien. Dix-neuf véhicules ont été contrôlés et l'identité de tous les protagonistes a été relevée.

Le calme est revenu à 23 heures, deux heures après le début des incidents. Le retour à la normale s'est effectué «sans violence ni dégradations», s'est félicité la préfecture, assurant que «les tentatives d'intimidation et les actions communautaires hostiles n'ont pas leur place dans notre République».

Tôt mercredi matin, une tentative de blocage du péage de Vienne (Isère), au sud de Lyon, par des militants pro-Arménie avait dégénéré, faisant quatre blessés, dont l'un frappé à coup de marteau. Si la préfecture de l'Isère avait simplement évoqué des «échauffourées» avec des automobilistes, la presse locale a mis en cause la communauté turque dans ces affrontements.

This is France’s last chance. DEPORT them, en masse, or face a future of cultural EXTINCTION. This is the message Macron should be giving to his countrymen.
