SANTIAGO, July 20 (Xinhua) -- Chilean President Michelle Bachelet said on Monday that the international community will not accept another solution to the political crisis in Honduras but the restoration of the constitutional order.
Bachelet, as temporary president of the Union of South American Nations (Unasur), supported the mediation brokered by Costa Rican President Oscar Arias.
After the 72-hour deadline set by Arias to find a way to resolve the political crisis in Honduras, Bachelet hoped the mediation to result in an "agreed and pacific" solution.
Bachelet also stressed that ousted President Manuel Zelaya has given necessary guarantees to achieve a solution and avoid violence and clashes in Honduras.
"The Honduran people can not continue living a situation like this, paying the price of the international isolation," said the Chilean president, referring to the suspension of aid coming from the European Union.
"The international community will not accept another alternative but the reinstatement of the state of law and democracy in Honduras," she said.
Bachelet urged the Honduran interim government to reconsider its posture during the 72-hour term.
Arias, who won the 1987 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in ending the Central American civil wars, lamented the hard-line stands of both camps and vowed to convince interim government leader Roberto Micheletti within 72 hours.
