There are reports and photos of actual troops in the building, and reports and photos of people who definitely don't look like civilian police leaving the building. I think the bigger problem with attempting to preempt the national assembly is that the troops didn't particularly want to interfere with people that had legitimate business at the assembly either.

Yeah, a few helicopters carrying troops touched down in the national assembly, but it seems they arrived too late and only waved their guns around half-heartedly. I think by the time they arrived, it was already clear which way the wind was blowing. They left soon after the vote took place.
