US State Dept. Comments on Honduras

QUESTION: On Honduras, Zelaya is trying to leave the country and that’s been delayed. Does the U.S. have a view on whether he should go or not? Does it make national reconciliation more difficult?

MR. CROWLEY: Well, I mean, our view is that Honduras should fulfill the Tegucigalpa-San Jose Accords, which obviously involves a transition to a new government in January. We continue to consult today with various countries in the region and Mexico on the way forward. Obviously, we are supportive of whatever steps that can be taken that helps Honduras advance during this transition period. But the decision as to whether President Zelaya decides to stay at the Brazilian Embassy or eventually accept the opportunity to move to another country, that’s ultimately his decision.

    i think mr crowley is wrong saying that for zelaya to stay or leave the embassey is zelaya,s decision he is given a dead line now by brazil ,the government of honduras should start legal action against zelaya for the18 charges against him special the theft charges so they confiscate his bank accounts and real estate holdings before he divest himself of everything ……….and with an international arrest warrent that would curtail his traveling…………..
