Ousted Honduran president gives ultimatum

(CNN) - Deposed Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya on Monday gave the interim government that ousted him an ultimatum: if ongoing negotiations do not restore him to power, he will consider the talks failed and resort to other means.

Zelaya's remarks came at a news conference in Managua, Nicaragua. He did not elaborate on what other means he might explore.

The statement puts pressure on the next round of mediation between the two sides, expected to take place Saturday in Costa Rica.

Zelaya demanded that "the explicit mandates of the international organizations be carried out," referring to resolutions passed by the Organization of American States and United Nations calling for his return as president.
