in the direction of the protesters. This video shows masked policemen chasing
protesters and then opening fire from AK-74 automatic rifles with tracer rounds
at them, killig at least one person, and then calmly walking away from the scene.
p.s. here is the actual statement of the Prosecutor-General's spokeswoman (from www.armenianow.com):
“The preliminary investigation will establish all circumstances of the deaths. I can state basing on the data of the preliminary investigation available as of today that no shot was fired in the direction of the demonstrators even during the mass unrest,” Truzyan said, adding that to quell the riots police used tear gas and tracer bullets fired solely into the air.
