There are some more species taken in Turkey. The dates of the pics and my comments are below. Are they true? Thank u for your help up to now...

1st pic : Meadow Pipit? (on December)
2nd pic : Yellow Wagtail? (on September)
3rd pic : Common Buzzard? (on September)
4th and 5th : I always see them around. I suppose they are not Feral Pigeons. Are they Rock Doves?

I agree with your id on 1 through 3. The pigeons are feral and are refered to by some as rock pigeons.

The Buzzard is a Long legged Buzzard.

the buzzard - as CAU always points out: median coverts form a pale band which is inconsistant with LLB. this would make it a steppe buzzard (vuplinus).

I agree. Sometimes the median coverts of a LLB might be slightly paler than the lesser and greater, but the subject bird shows very clearly defined pale bands and looks like a classic Steppe Buzzard in this respect. I can't see any other features either that would be inconsistent with Steppe Buzzard.
