RA general staff: Armenian army didn't fire at people
The Armenian armed forces and police are charged with the task to fulfill the Armenian President's edict on imposition of emergency rule in Yerevan, RA general staff chief, colonel general Seyran Ohanyan told a news conference in Yerevan.

"The army did not interfere in dispersal of looter on March 1. It serves as a shield between the people and police. Army shoots only is the assaulters commence fire. Soldiers did not fire a single shot," he said, adding, "Army doesn't deal with arrests, it the law enforcement's duty."
