TEGUCIGALPA, Oct. 14 (Xinhua) -- The dialogue commission established to negotiate a deal to end the prolonged political crisis in Honduras since a June 28 coup on Wednesday reached an agreement, which includes the restoration of power for ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

The dialogue commission, formed by representatives of both Zelaya and post-coup de facto president Roberto Micheletti, agreed on a document to restore Zelaya in power. The deposed leader is currently taking refuge in the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa.

    The interior minister of Zelaya's cabinet, Victor Meza, told the press: "We have agreed (on) the document, which now will be taken to president Manuel Zelaya and Mr. Roberto Micheletti for them to analyze." It is up to the two leaders to decide whether to approve or reject it, said Meza.

Honduras' ousted President Manuel Zelaya (R) talks with secretary general of the Organization of American States (OAS) Jose Miguel Insulza inside the Brazilian embassy in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Oct. 7, 2009.

    Meza said both delegations had agreed on the text, but refused to reveal more details of the document, saying that the negotiators wanted to "keep it in discretion till directly knowing" what Zelaya and Micheletti thought about it.

    To the moment it is unknown when Zelaya's eventual restoration could take place, but the negotiators from both sides found the document "acceptable" and saw it as a "door to find the exit," said Meza.

    Meza made the remarks at the venue of the talks -- a hotel in Tegucigalpa.

    Meanwhile, the negotiator of the de facto government, Vilma Morales, said that there is a consensus "on a single document," but the negotiators will continue with their dialogue after a break of a few hours.

    The de facto government's representatives are Armando Aguilar Cruz, businessman Arturo Corrales, and Vilma Morales.

    Zelaya's representatives include his Labor Minister Mayra Mejia, Interior Minister Victor Meza, and his adviser Rodil Rivera.
