On July 15 , 1983 , ASALA carried out an attack at the Orly Airport near Paris , in which 8 people were killed and 55 were injured , most of them not being Turks.The attack resulted in a split in ASALA , between those individuals who carried it out , and those who believed the attack to be counterproductive . The split resulted in emergence of two groups , the '' ASALA-Militant '' led by Hagopian and the ' Revolutionary Movement ' ( '' ASALA-Mouvement Révolutionnaire '' ) led by Monte Melkonian . While Melkonian 's faction insisted on attacks strictly against Turkish officials and the Turkish government , Hagopian 's group disregarded the losses of unintended victims and regularly executed dissenting members
