MONTEVIDEO, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Uruguayan government disavowed on Friday de facto Honduran ambassadress Carmen Eleonora Ortez Willams for not representing the legitimate government of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya.

    The Uruguayan Foreign Ministry announced its decision on Friday, which was based on an official declaration signed on June 28, saying the Uruguayan government would not recognize any government "which could rupture the democratic legitimate institutions."

    The decision also mentioned the resolution of the Extraordinary General Assembly of the Organization of American States (OAS) on July 4, which suspended Honduras' membership of the regional body.

    Uruguay said the country has refused to recognize Ortez as "the ambassadress representing the legitimate government of Honduras." 　

    Uruguayan President Tabare Vazquez reiterated the decision Friday when attending the Union of the South American Nations Extraordinary Summit, held in Bariloche, Argentina.
