After 15 hours they surrendered peacefully requesting political asylum from the French government.
April 28, 1984 in Turkish Embassy in Tehran, Iran, Işık Yönder was killed.
The ASALA's most criticized attack was on August 7, 1982 in Ankara at the Esenboğa International Airport, when its members targeted both militants and non-diplomat civilians for the first time. Two militants opened fire in a crowded passenger waiting room. One of the shooters took more than 20 hostages while the second was apprehended by police. Altogether, nine people died and 82 were injured. The arrested militant Levon Ekmekjian condemned the ASALA in the aftermath of the attack and appealed to other members to leave and stop the violence. The Esenboga attack also precipitated a split in the group over tactics, between the Nationalists (ASALA-Militant) led by Hagopian and the 'Popular 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. On August 10, 1982, Artin Penik a Turkish-Armenian, set himself on fire in protest of this attack.

Prominent Armenian poet Silva Kaputikyan in 1983 wrote "Its raining my sonny" poem dedicated to the memory of ASALA member Ekmekjian.

On July 15, 1983, the ASALA carried out another attack at the Orly Airport near Paris, in which 8 people were killed. The attack gave the group a new nickname, the Orly Group. Afterwards, French forces promptly arrested those involved.

What a tragedy that was.

What a tragedy that was. The Palestinian terrorists trained the Armenian terrorists to do this. And many US and French citizens also died.
