Al Jazeera English - Americas - Honduras agrees to Zelaya talks: "The de facto Honduran government has said that it is willing to talk to Manuel Zelaya if the ousted president recognises the legality of presidential elections scheduled for November.
'I will talk with anybody anywhere at any time, including with former President Manuel Zelaya,' Roberto Micheletti, the man who replaced Zelaya, said in a statement read out by a senior aide late on Tuesday.
The concession by the interim government comes amid rising tensions in the standoff between security forces and Zelaya outside the Brazilian embassy in the capital Tegucigalpa, where the ousted leader has taken refuge.
Micheletti had previously said he would not reopen negotiations and insisted that Brazil should hand over Zelaya to 'pay for the crimes he committed', which according to the interim government are corruption and violating the constitution."
