San Jose, July 20 (Xinhua) Talks between the representatives of ousted Honduran president Manuel Zelaya and representatives of the post-coup regime ended without any agreement.
Carlos Lopez, who led the delegation from the post-coup regime of Roberto Micheletti, told media in Costa Rican capital San Jose that it could only accept the return of Manuel Zelaya, the president who was kidnapped from the presidential residence June 28 and forced to leave Honduras, providing he agrees to submit to charges including treason.
Rixi Moncada, who led the team that represented Zelaya, said the delegation could not accept anything short of Zelaya's restoration, which was in line with the resolutions adopted by the Organisation of American States and the United Nations.
Lopez had earlier described any call for the restoration of Zelaya as 'interfering' in Honduras' internal affairs.
On Saturday, Arias presented a compromise plan under which Zelaya would return to office in a unity government. Other elements of the plan include an amnesty for all crimes committed before and after the coup and the moving up of presidential elections scheduled for November to October.
'I am sorry but your proposal is not acceptable,' Lopez told a press conference, where Arias was present.
