No, no, the male - eyes connected or almost connected frontally, and male genitalia - so large... :)

There are many Eumerus-species with red on the abdomen, especially in 'the east'.
So it is not wise to even make a wild guess, at least not for me.
These specimens need to be collected..

Yes, certainly... Eumerus is awfully difficult genus with the enormous amount of species (about 300) - Doczkal & Pape (2009).

Though it is tempting... I can see some good characters.. hahaha :D
The best match I can come up with, is
Eumerus armenorum Stack.
Would fit its distribution according to Stackelberg: Transcaucasia (Armenia).
