Key State Department Officials Set To Testify Before Congress Over Caucasus Policy
Key State Department officials in charge of Caucasus policy will this week testify before the Congressional Committee on Foreign Affairs on the administration's policy towards the region, TURAN's Washington correspondent reports.
Karen Donfried, assistant secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs and Philip Reeker, senior advisor for Caucasus Negotiations, are set to testify at an open hearing of the Subcommittee on Europe, Energy, the Environment, and Cyber, on Wednesday Dec 14.
The event, chaired by Congressman Bill Keating (D-MA), will be available via live webcast on the Committee website.
Both Donfried and Reeker last month appeared before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to lay out the administration's Caucasus policy.
Reeker recently returned from the region in what was his second trip in this current role. Donfried, in her turn, last week spoke with both Azerbaijani and Armenian foreign ministers.
