BUENOS AIRES, September 21 (RIA Novosti) - Ousted president Manuel Zelaya, who returned to Honduras on Monday after a June coup, said he plans to start dialogue with the de-facto government, a number of sources said.

Zelaya was bundled out of the country on June 28 by the military, acting on instructions from the Supreme Court and parliament, for his efforts to seek an unconstitutional second presidential term. Zelaya was flown to Costa Rica. The de facto Honduran leadership has not been recognized internationally.

Zelaya told local TV "I am here in Tegucigalpa."

The president's aide confirmed on television that Zelaya was in the UN mission in the capital Tegucigalpa.

Roberto Micheletti, parliamentary speaker turned interim Honduran leader, dismissed the reports and told a press conference that Zelaya was in Nicaragua.

The U.S. has suspended an aid program to help Honduras fight poverty over the interim government's refusal to accept a plan proposed by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, under which Zelaya would return to his post, while Micheletti would return to his pre-coup position.
