This butterfly, Polyommatus attalaensis (Carbonell et al., 2004), was discovered in Turkey according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyommatu...

There are 70 (!!) Polyommatus found in Turkey! Tricky one. Turkey is anyway a difficult country, half part of Europe and half part of Asia and Kaukasian. So, we might have tons of insects meeting in the middle, in Turkey :-)

Glaucopsyche paphos is endemic to Cyprus, so not found in Turkey.
