Damsel & dragonflies from Mount Nemrut, Turkey (1 Viewer)

I saw the following damsel and dragonfly at around 1500m on Mount Nemrut in central Turkey. So far I've not been able to pin them down to anything in the fieldguide. One of the damselflies appears to match Common Blue (E. cyathigerum) but there others don't....

Many thanks

Vagrant Emperor for the dragonfly, and I believe that all three of the damselflies are Common Blues (the middle one certainly is).
The damselfly in the second and fourth photos has an abnormal, but not exceptional S2 marking for Common Blue, and has reduced black markings on S8 (the eight abdomen segment), but I can't think of anything else that it could be (and other features fit).

Many thanks for the suggestions...I've only just seen this, for some reason my notifications haven't been working.
