On descent into geg; short vector to final runway 21; received a 'caution terrain' advisory. Captain minimized descent rate; advisory went away; continued the approach; uneventful. We briefed the surrounding terrain and high descent might cause a GPWS. We briefed to minimize our descent; ATC short vectors; resulting in slightly high approach angle primary cause.
