MOSCOW, November 9. /TASS/: Moscow is not prejudiced against Armenia’s external partners, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Rossiya-1 television.

"We are for Armenia, as a member of the CSTO, as our close ally, strategic partner, deciding on its own how it should build relations with external partners. We have absolutely no prejudice against the circle of its foreign partners, friends, whatever you want to call it," he said.

The minister also said Western countries are "courting" Armenia as they want to have it as an ally against Russia.
