- Munich Olympic Games," The Armenian Reporter, February 7, 1985, p. 1.
-
- "Le Matin, the influential Paris daily, based on unidentified sources,
- claimed last week that Hagop Hagopian, the founder and leader of one
- faction of the Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA),
- was among the Arab terrorists who staged an attack on the living quarters
- of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games...
-
- Le Matin added that up to 1982, Hagopian operated out of Beirut, Lebanon,
- but escaped from the country when Israeli forces entered the city. It was
- about this time that a statement issued by ASALA claimed that Mr. Hagopian
- was dead of wounds suffered during a bombing by the Israeli Air Force,
- although it is generally believed that the mysterious leader is alive and
- well and presently is residing alternately in Damascus, Syria, and
- Athens, Greece. The paper also noted that the socialist government of
- Prime Minister Andreas Papandreou and his P.A.S.O.K. party accepted the
- Armenian underground leader with "open arms" and still providing him
- with assistance simply because of Greece's traditional enmity with Turkey.
-
- Le Matin further adds that ASALA derives only a small portion of its
- expenditures from wealthy Armenians who support the cause, with the rest
- coming either from other sources or from proceeds of an involvement in
- drug trafficking. The paper asserts that Bulgarian authorities also assist
- ASALA in obtaining all types of weapons that are used against Turkish targets
- and diplomats."
