Russia's foreign ministry opposes call to ban Deutsche Welle - Ifax

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Wednesday he did not support banning foreign media outlets including Germany's Deutsche Welle from working in Russia, something that had been proposed by parliament, Interfax news agency reported.

Russia's parliament accused Deutsche Welle in September of breaking election legislation and asked the foreign ministry to consider revoking the German broadcaster's right to work in the country.
