ArmInfo. Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is going to just try to hold on to the  status quo in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. This was stated in an  interview to Caucasus Watch by British political scientist, a senior  fellow with Carnegie Europe, specializing in Eastern Europe and the  Caucasus region, Thomas de Waal. 

According to him, he believes, that there will not be many changes,  at least not soon. " Pasinyan is going to just try to hold on to the  status quo and this is probably not to the liking of Azerbaijan. Baku  wants to see either a more active peace process or it wants to shake  up the situation with some kind of military action. It does not want  to see a quiet status quo, but a quiet status quo is unfortunately  what I think the new Armenian leadership wants", the British  political scientist said. 

Further, referring to the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh  conflict, he noted that the conflict is difficult to resolve and  cannot be quickly resolved.

Thomas de Waal noted that there is very weak international mechanism  in place.  "There is a small monitoring mission with six OSCE  observers, as well as the very modest Minsk group under the  co-chairmanship format that is trying to mediate the conflict. So  basically everything comes down to the will and decision-making of  the leaders on both sides", the political scientist said.
