Zelaya Rules out Talks in USA
Constitutional President of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya Ocotal, Nicaragua, Jul 27.- Honduran President Manuel Zelaya ruled out on Monday to travel to Washington to meet with US State Secretary Hillary Clinton, after demanding a firm stance by the United States against the coup leaders.
"If Washington wants to talk with me, it should send a representative here, to Ocotal," said Zelaya, who has been four days at the border between Nicaragua and Honduras in an effort to return to his country.
The president asserted that he has not thought of leaving the demonstrators alone, those who got to the border check point in Las Manos to support him and show their solidarity.
Zelaya considered that the United States should clarify its stance towards the usurpers of power in Honduras, after warning that Clinton is not using the term coup d'etat or taking any action against repression in his country.
Clinton should realize that this coup is being maintained there with the approval of many US rightwing circles in power, including several senators, said the president.
Honduran legal government Foreign Minister Patricia Rodas demanded that the US State Secretary established a significant difference between those who want peace and those who are causing violence.
"Those who are carrying rifles and those who are demonstrating peacefully can not be grouped on the same side," asserted Rodas in an answer to Clinton's statements that said Zelaya's decision to return to Honduras was bold and provocative.
If US State Secretary can not see this difference, then we are not talking about the same democracy or the same conflict, Rodas said.
The foreign minister is accompanying Zelaya in his effort to return to Honduras, from where both were forcibly taken out on June 28 by pro-coup military troops.(Prensa Latin)"
