This young boy has already become a bearer of semi-criminal beliefs and, according to available information, it&#39;s not the first time S. has provoked such fights; however, he&#39;s never been punished for it. We&#39;ve been informed that the Syrian-Armenian student was on duty during recess that day and gave S. a reprimand for turning the lights on and off. &#39;Who are you to reprimand me,&#39; the boy replied and gathered other students against the kid.

But for a Syrian-Armenian child to have been beaten in our school? I have no idea.&rdquo;\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\tStepanyan was also unable to recall the organizer: &ldquo;There are 1800 students in our school, and we probably have several &#39;S&#39;s in 8th grade.
