Brazil wants an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting to discuss the situation at its embassy in Honduras, where the ousted Honduran president has been holed up since returning to his country, the official Brazilian news agency reported.
In another development, interim Honduran President Roberto Micheletti said he is willing to meet anywhere with ousted President Jose Manuel Zelaya as long as Zelaya agrees to abide by presidential elections scheduled for November 29.
But Micheletti said in a statement read by his foreign minister Tuesday that his offer to talk with Zelaya does not undo an arrest warrant that the nation's Supreme Court issued against him.
Micheletti's statement seemed a reversal of his position. Earlier Tuesday, he had said in an interview with local network Televicentro that Zelaya's sudden appearance would not revive negotiations to have him return to power.
The United States and Brazil have said they support dialogue between the two sides, centered on the San Jose Accord, an agreement negotiated by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias. That accord calls for Zelaya to be restored to power.
