October 28, 2009 - By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS - TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AP) — With three U.S. diplomats expected to arrive in coup-torn Honduras, interim President Roberto Micheletti said Tuesday that negotiations on ending a four-month political crisis must wait until after Nov. 29 elections.

Dialogue between his faction and supporters of ousted President Manuel Zelaya is ”not going to fix anything,” Micheletti said, with just 33 days before voters go to the polls.

His statement came just one night before three high level U.S. envoys, including Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Tom Shannon, were expected to arrive in Honduras seeking to help negotiate a compromise.

Many governments, including the United States, are urging that the democratically elected be restored to the presidency to serve out his term, which ends in January.

A poll released Tuesday said most Hondurans are also looking to the upcoming presidential election for a solution.
