Fine Meloidae. I don't know this species. Perhaps Apalus necydaleus (Pallas, 1782)

Thank youy very much. I think you are right about the genus. I found a key:
http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page ... 1/mode/1up
I reached to A. necydaleus but A. montanus is also possible, I think.
There is one more species in Turkey (actually endemic to Turkey) which was not mentioned in this key:
A. mulsanti
So I think it should remain as Apalus sp.

These specimens belong to the complex of Apalus nycydaleus, including also montanus, mulsanti, which are possibuy only synonyms.
Have you collected these specimens for a sure identification?
