UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya said on Tuesday that the presidents of Argentina and Ecuador and the head of the Organization of American States would join him on a return trip to Honduras on Thursday.

Zelaya, flown to Costa Rica on Sunday by the Honduras military, told a news conference he intended to return as president, to finish his current mandate and not to run for office again. He made the remarks after addressing the U.N. General Assembly.
