OAS
representative arrives in Honduras
TEGUCIGALPA - The Organization of American
States (OAS) mission chief, Victor Rico,
arrived here on Tuesday to seek a negotiated
solution to the ongoing political crisis in
Honduras.
"Precisely, I have come here for them (the
negotiation teams of ousted president Manuel
Zelaya and de facto leader Roberto
Micheletti) to formally sit down again and
make the final efforts to reach an agreement
in the interest of the Honduran people,"
Rico told reporters.
"We can keep the hope of reaching an
agreement," he added.
Micheletti said on Monday that the door for
solving the country's political crisis
through dialogue remained open and he was
ready for anything, even relinquishing
power.
Three senior U.S. officials including top
Latin America diplomat Thomas Shannon will
visit Honduras on Wednesday in a bid to end
the country's political crisis.
Zelaya, who was forced into exile and is
hiding in the Brazilian embassy in the
Honduran capital, told his supporters on
Sunday that he expected an agreement would
be reached soon.
