Matt Bryza at ACUS

On Wednesday, January 19th, the Atlantic Council’s Dinu Patriciu Eurasia Center hosted former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Matthew Bryza for a strategic briefing prior to his departure to Baku, where he will take up duties as U.S. ambassador. Bryza will arrive to a post that has been vacant for eighteen months, during which time there has been a deterioration in the tone and character of U.S.-Azerbaijani relations. The discussion, led by Eurasia Center Director Ross Wilson, himself a retired U.S. ambassador to Baku, focused on strategies for dealing with the overall problem of tone and for leveraging that into progress that advances U.S. interests on issues of security, energy, and internal reform in Azerbaijan.
