Beautiful picture! I think we might need a few more angles of the ants to get a positive ID.  You can also try to ID it yourself using the key to Camponotus of Turkey: link


Current Species:
Camponotus fragilis

Novomessor cockerelli

Pogonomyrmex montanus

Pogonomyrmex rugosus

Manica bradleyi

Wow, nice job! I think we should add Camponotus turkestanus to this list though.

 

 

While the queen in this pic looks different, Camponotus turkestanus has a wide range of colors such as, black, yellow and orange
