    French intel blacklists Turkish group


    A French intelligence agency has prepared a report on a rally of the
    Turkish associations protesting an Armenian `genocide' bill and
    blacklisted some participant groups, ntvmsnbc news website reported on
    March 30.

    The French Central Directorate of Interior Intelligence (DCRI)
    blacklisted a group called the `French Turk Federation,' affiliated to
    Turkish opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), according to
    French `Le point' magazine. The federation also attended the rally in
    Paris on Jan. 21, to protest against the French bill penalizing denial
    of the Armenian genocide allegations. The bill was later annulled as
    unconstitutional by France's high court.

    The French Turk Federation is described by the agency as `an apparent
    face of the ultranationalist Grey Wolves [a term widely used by
    nationalist MHP supporters], which has from time to time resorted to
    violence.'
