YEREVAN, March 1 (Reuters) – Sporadic shooting rocked the centre
of Armenia’s capital on Saturday and tracer bullets flew across
the dusky sky near where the opposition had been holding a rally,
a Reuters eye-witness reported.

"I can hear sporadic shooting and see red and yellow tracers going
into the skies," Reuters correspondent Hasmik Lazarian reported from
a vantage point near the scene.

"This is all happening near the place where the opposition rallied
today," she said. "It’s not clear who is shooting at whom." (Reporting
