The interim government on Tuesday ordered Argentine diplomats to leave Honduras in three days, sending a defiant message before a visit by six foreign ministers who are seeking the restoration of the ousted president, Manuel Zelaya. The Foreign Ministry said the diplomats were ordered to leave in response to Argentina's decision to expel the Honduran ambassador, who has recognized the government of the de facto president, Roberto Micheletti. Argentina is among six countries planning to send foreign ministers to Honduras in a bid to revive negotiations. It was the second time that the interim government had ordered the expulsion of foreign diplomats since Mr. Zelaya was ousted in a June 28 coup. Venezuela's envoys have also been told to leave but have refused, saying they would not recognize an order by the de facto government. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
