In summer 2.006 it took place the first great scientific project of OAS: "The Spanish Archaeological Mission in Turkey", financed by CESPA Co. from Barcelona, this project started with an initial expedition for prospecting archaeological sites, and at the same time to get in contact with the relevant Turkish Authorities. As a result of the appreciable support from Cervantes Institute in Istanbul, the expedition could bring to Spain reports and very interesting proposals for the execution of excavations, the most exceptional offer was presented by municipal authorities from Dinar and Afyonkarahisar Museum, to take part in the excavation of the old greco-roman city of Apamea in Phrygia, which is one of the most important classical cities in all Anatolia, it has same archeological level that Efeso, Hierapolis or Pergamo. Consecuently, OAS mission proposes to concentrate their investigations into the area where the monumental remainders are situated, mainly the Theater, the one that is priority for The Municipal Government, because their investment plans and touristic activities are directed toward this theater. The agreement is to start the excavations in 2,007, after the relevant administrative permission. Dinar is located next to the "Great Lakes" and near to the touristic areas at the Aegean and Mediterranean Coast, and offers an excellent infrastructure to develop any cultural project and has big investment expectations for interests of the Society and its sponsors. Turkey is a reach country in culture, is a considerable candidate to become part of the European Union, and at the same is the Orient's Door, for all those reasons the success in the management of this kind of project is always supported by a modern social structure, conformed by institutional and technical values, fused with the preservation of its ancient significance and wonderfull landscapes, offering to everybody one unique idiosyncrasy. Turkey is perhaps the first "footstep" that all european traveller should explore on his trip to Orient.
