Of course it is not, but this article trying hard to portray it as it is one sided problem.

Well, there are several things.
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.
