Remembering the Orly Attack

Summary/Abstract: The bombing of Orly Airport, on July 15, 1983, one the two bloodiest attacks by Armenian terrorists in the 1970s and 1980s, is not an accident or a crime whose responsibility could be attributed only to a tiny group of extremists. It is rather a logical consequence of a decade of violence. If the trial of 1985 was a great victory against the terrorism, the “recognition” of the “Armenian genocide” claims in the French Parliament, against the dispositions of the French Constitution, was a reward to terrorism, and decisive in securing the release of the main perpetrator of the Orly bombing.
