Do you know what is the latin name of tree, which belongs this leaf?:

Try googling on Google Images for "Morus leaves". I didn't find anything
exactly like it, but there is much similarity to Morus nigra. Do you find
fruits smashed on the ground around it?

I have one more photo:

I haven't seen any fruits, even on the tree..

Acording to informations on wikipedia*, now I think it is Morus nigra,
because i found it in Turkey (southwest Asia)..

The two pressed leaf images above strongly resemble paper
mulberry, Broussonetia papyrifera

etc.

The plant in your other image

http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/205/img8329iy8.jpg

instead closely resembles white mulberry, _Morus alba_.

Are you sure the dry leaves are from the very same plant or
could they be from different individual trees?

The North American red mulberry, _Morus rubra_ more closely
resembles Broussonetia in its leaf shape [all of these species
are very variable in terms of lobing of the leaves], with similar
long-pointed lobe tips.

One easy clue is the leaf arrangement: paper mulberry usually has
at least some of its leaves in opposite pairs, whereas the Morus
species all have strictly alternate phyllotaxy.
