YEREVAN. – Armenian opposition is unwilling to create an ad hoc committee on March 1 events, head of the Republican Party of Armenia group Galust Sahakyan told a briefing on  Friday.

“If they wished to create a committee, they would try to convince and talk to others instead of defaming,” Sahakyan said.
 
In response to opposition's accusations of lack of courage and political will to investigate March 1 events, he noted “we are not investigators. This is work of relevant agencies”.

As a result of clashes between authorities and opposition, 8 demonstrators and 2 law enforcers were killed on March 1, 2008. No one has been held accountable for their deaths.
