Update, October 15, 8:30am EDT.According to Laprensahn.com, president Micheletti confirmed late last night that "there is no agreement" with deposed president Mel Zelaya regarding his return.
October 14, 11:30 pm. Lucianne.com has linked a story from Agence France Presse, which seems to indicate that the Micheletti government has given in on point # 6 referring to the framework created in Costa Rica for a resolution of the situation in Honduras.
However, a statement from pro-Michiletti media (reported less than an hour ago) indicated the following:
"We understand that a group representing Zelaya has agreed to submit to a determination by (Honduras') Congress whether Zelaya may return to power or not."
AFP has interpreted it this way: "Honduran negotiators reached agreement on Wednesday on a plan to restore President Manuel Zelaya to office and end a political crisis triggered by his ouster in a June coup."
So, there seems to be no "agreement," because that would infer two parties reaching an accord and the phony "agreement" is only an offer to submit to Congress' will, not to restore Zelaya. Still, nevertheless, we don't know whether mal Mel has lined up the votes or plans to detain his foes, who knows? It's the wild west down there now. This is likely Zelaya misinformation.
From Yahoo.com (Latin America)
"Tengo entendido que el grupo de Zelaya está pidiendo que sea el Congreso el que determine si puede regresar o no" al poder, indicó Micheletti a periodistas, al aclarar que, en todo caso, "eso es un asunto legal"."
AFP puts it this way:
"Honduran negotiators reached agreement on Wednesday on a plan to restore President Manuel Zelaya to office and end a political crisis triggered by his ouster in a June coup.
""We have agreed in a document on point number six, which relates to the restitution of the powers of state to where they were before June 28, 2009," Victor Meza, Zelaya's representative, told a news conference.
"Restoring the state to the situation before the coup would imply Zelaya's return to office, something that had been opposed by Robert Micheletti, the head of the coup-backed interim government.
"Micheletti and Zelaya must now ratify the agreement reached by their representatives in talks Tegucigalpa."
