Might be Opsilia coerulescens, or something similar. I have no idea of which species you have in Turkey.

Thank you very much for ID.There are only two species in Aegean Region:
Opsilia coerulescens
Opsilia uncinata

Beh, Mandibulae in uncinata are unicuspid, whereas in coerulescens are bicuspid. You can see what are bicuspid mandibulae in this topic, where is displayed one O.coerulescens and one unkown species.

I couldn't understand exactly what bicuspid is but I take a photo of mandibulae.But I found it here and it fits with the mandibulae of my specimen.

Hi, it is Opsilia coerulescens. Opsilia uncinata is only known from the east of Turkey. In your area can live Opsilia molybdena as well.

We have a Turkish entomologist,Hüseyin Özdikmen and he has lots of publication about Cerambycidae.
In one of his publication,THE LONGICORN BEETLES OF TURKEY (COLEOPTERA: CERAMBYCIDAE) PART III–AEGEAN REGION,he says so for the species Opsilia uncinata:
Records in Turkey: (IZ-TUR)
Turkey (Lodos, 1998); İzmir prov.: Kuşadası (Özdikmen et al., 2005).
and so:
Remarks: It has been reported only from Aegean Region as connected with the geological
area covered by the present work (*). Probably it distributes only in Western Turkey.

And also in that publication the species Opsilia molybdena didn't even mentioned.

Pierpaolo solved the doubt . However, mandibulae of your exemplar are bicuspid (you can see that at the end there is a sort of fork?).
