Hagopian was wanted in France for masterminding the Orly Airport attack in July 1983 . This attack resulted in a split in ASALA , with the splinter group ASALA Revolutionary Movement led by Monte Melkonian condemning " the murderous deviation " of Hagopian . Hagopian 's more militant faction concentrated in the Middle East and Greece . In the aftermath of the split , Hagopian executed two of Melkonian 's allies within ASALA in retaliation for the assassination of two of Hagopian 's closest aides
