Ankara

Ankara is the capital of Turkey. The city has been continuously inhabited since the Bronze Age. The museum of Anatolian Civilizations details the flow of cultures that have passed through the area, from the Hittites, Phrygians, Lydians and Persians to the Galatians, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuk Turks and Ottomans. In addition to the museums, visitors enjoy touring the citadel, historical buildings and the old shops. The participants can find many interesting old and new items such as copper, jewellery, carpets, antiques and embroideries.

 We hope that ISOPS-8 meeting in Ankara will be a memorable one for scientific, social and historical experience.

 Looking forward to welcoming you in Ankara in 2009.
