Galip Ozmen was the Administrative Attaché of Turkish Embassy in Greece, who was assassinated in a mass shooting in Athens on 31 July 1980. An Armenian gunman attacked Galip Ozmen and his family as they were waiting in their automobile at a traffic light. Galip Ozmen and his fourteen-year-old daughter, Neslihan Ozmen, were killed. His wife, Sevil Ozmen, and his sixteen-year-old son, Kaan Ozmen, were seriously wounded, but survived. Armenian Secret Army for the Liberation of Armenia (ASALA) claimed responsibility for the attack.

The double assassination was perpetrated by one of the ASALA leaders Monte Melkonian. Melkonian approached the diplomat's car and fired shots at each of the passengers. According to his brother's memoir, as Melkonian fled, the diplomat's son got out of the car, holding his gunshot wound, and together with a few bystanders started chasing Mekonian, but the latter escaped. Melkonian was never apprehended, or charged with the crime.
