PanARMENIAN.Net - The authorities of Namur city in Belgium have banned a meeting of Turkish ultranationalist group Grey Wolves.

The Nationalist Movement Party, or MHP, (under the aegis of which Grey Wolves group was established in 1969) led by Turkish ultranationalist Devlet Bahçeli, intended to organize a symposium in Namur on May 20.

As Paris-based journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net the Armenian community has alerted Maxime Prevot, the new Mayor of the city, who immediately informed the owner and manager of the Center where the meeting was to take place.

As a result of joint efforts, the gathering was banned because of its racist character.

The event organizer, Belçika Federasyon Türk, a branch of Grey Wolves in Belgium decided to go to court.
