EU Urges Honduras To Solve Crisis Through Negotiations
Tegucigalpa - The European
Union on Tuesday urged Honduras to solve its
current government crisis through
negotiations.
"In light of the return of President Zelaya
to Tegucigalpa, the presidency of the
European Union underlines the importance of
a negotiated solution to the current crisis
in Honduras," Sweden, which currently holds
the EU's rotating presidency, said in a
statement.
"The European Union urges all concerned to
refrain from any action that might increase
tension and violence," the statement said.
The statement expressed firm EU support for
the efforts made by the Organization of
American States and the initiatives
undertaken by OAS Secretary-General Jose
Miguel Insulza to facilitate dialogue and
restoration of the constitutional order in
Honduras.
Zelaya said at a news conference Monday in
Tegucigalpa that he returned to Honduras to
resolve the crisis that started when he was
ousted on June 28 and sent to Costa Rica by
soldiers.
