This is a misleading term, which can border on the dangerous. The political context of these disputes is always changing and in some there is a potential for a thaw into violence. In Karabakh up to 200 people lost their lives in the Four-Day War of 2016 and there are detentions and deaths on the boundaries of Abkhazia and South Ossetia."

It's indicative of lazy thinking and it's a regrettable shorthand for conflicts and conflict settings that I think are dynamic and ever-shifting."”
