Genus Lygaeosoma, you'll need to examine dorsal pubescence to go further with identification awkward

No,you didn't.It is a typical Lygaeosoma anatolicum.And it is a brachpter form.

Heteropteran,
Why do you think it's L.anatolicum? there are many species in Turkey that has the same typical look.

Well,not many species but only two species:
Lygaeosoma anatolicum
Lygaeosoma sardeum(=erythropterum=reticulatum)
It is really easy to recognize these two species.Lygaeosoma sardeum has no brachypter form and the color is generally brownish.But Lygaeosoma anatolicum is commonly in bracyhpter form and its color is red or reddish.
Also here another L.anatolicum from Turkey Ölüdeniz(Fethiye South Turkey):

I had also found a L.anatolicum several years ago in Bodrum(SW Turkey)
