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.
