Orthoptera are actually surprisingly hard to ID with some cryptic species out there. You might see some of the Brits on here managing to identify species in their home country but we don't have nearly as many species as you will in Turkey.

I can confirm they're bush-crickets though (family: Tettigoniidae)

Thanks Bob,I will check Tettigoniidae again.I am beginning to realise how difficult some species are to identify.
