Zelaya mistrusts Honduras talks

TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) - Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, holed up in an embassy three months after being toppled in a coup, was skeptical on Tuesday about the chances of holding talks with the divided country's de facto leader.
Foreign ministers and diplomats from the Organization of American States will visit Honduras on Wednesday to broker talks between Zelaya and Roberto Micheletti, who took power after the June 28 putsch in the coffee-growing country.
Diplomats are optimistic progress will be made and Micheletti is expected to call officially for dialogue. But Zelaya told Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio he would not to meet his opponent unless he agrees to restore him to power as a basis for solving the crisis.
Zelaya told Reuters late on Monday he believed Micheletti was playing for time and was not serious about ending Central America's biggest political crisis in years. "To me, the dialogue they have called for has no credibility, it seems to be another game they are playing," he said by telephone from his base in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa.
It was not clear if Zelaya's representative will meet the diplomats from Brazil, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico and Central America.
Tensions flared when Zelaya slipped back into Honduras two weeks ago. He has been trapped in the Brazilian embassy since then by troops surrounding the building as Micheletti slapped emergency curbs on pro-Zelaya media and street protests.
Talks this week will likely center on the San Jose agreement drafted by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias when he mediated earlier in the crisis. The document calls for Zelaya's reinstatement, a form of political amnesty and a unity government until the scheduled November 29 elections.
Zelaya wants the agreement to form a basis for a solution.
But Micheletti is resisting pressure to restore the leftist, toppled after he riled powerful conservatives by allying himself with socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and fueling fears he wanted to amend the constitution to extend his hold on power. Micheletti wants Zelaya to face trial.
"I would only accept a face-to-face meeting when (Micheletti) agrees to sign the Arias Plan, which he has yet to accept," Zelaya told CBC on Tuesday.
Diplomats have praised a change in attitude from Micheletti, who has welcomed back OAS officials he expelled last month and bowed to international pressure by agreeing to lift the curbs on media and social freedoms.
"We are now very optimistic. There have been very significant advances from both sides," said OAS Special Adviser John Biehl who is currently in Honduras.
