Also what does this protest have to do with a fascist group on an ethnic cleansing hunt?
Article from Vice itself is pure xenophobia.
>If I click that link I only see Turkish text, what am I supposed to read?
Read the Vice article at OP it says same. If you want translation here you go,
"Armenian activists, who blocked the A7 highway near Lyon, France, attacked a group of Turkish citizens going to work with a stick, ax and knife, causing serious injuries to 2 TURKS aged 17 and 22!"

Nobody ethnic cleansing anyone here, no point in dramatizing events.By doing so, you just empty the meanings of words.
The article is about xenophobia.

Ah, I'm sorry I guess English is not your first language. The article says the following had happened:
"250 people marched through the city centre waving Turkish flags, yelling violent threats like: “We are going to kill the Armenians.”"
This is the literal definition of ethnic cleansing. If you disagree, do you mean that this did not happen? Or are they looking for specific Armenians that were part of the event you are talking about?
There hasn’t been any “hunt for Turks”, and the Armenian community has been overwhelmingly peaceful for the ~100 years it existed. Both Turks and Armenian have always been welcome in France. There is no climate of fear that can justify this sort of behaviour. This is purely a result of the heightened tensions around Armenia.
There also isn’t any Armenian organisation that’s comparable to the Grey Wolves. Turkish militants are much more of a threat to stability in Europe than Armenians (although they aren’t a major one either).
So the situation is not quite symmetrical. I can get that some nuances might be lost in the reporting but the two sides clearly are not as dangerous.
Mutatis mutandis, somehow I don't see the German government sending drone attacks to Israel.
"The marches followed violent clashes earlier Wednesday, when a group of pro-Armenian demonstrators blocked a motorway near Vienne, and clashed with members of the Turkish community. According to police, clashes with knives broke out, and four people were injured, including a 23-year-old man who was hit with a hammer."
