In bonsai, things cannot be urgent. This problem too cannot be solved quickly either. This is not something that suddenly happens, but it is the cause of long term incorrect care.
Without knowing what you have been doing, I have to make guesses:
- You are keeping it indoors. Junipers belong outdoors.
- You have been overwatering it.
Does the pot it is in have a drainage hole?
Indeed this issue has been discussed many times. I suggest you search for 'Juniper'. Also look up 'Mallsai'.

-Yes, I am keeping it indoor, because of the minus temperatures in Ankara, Turkey. I didn't located it directly sunlight. I will read How-To section of this website. Certainly, I have done something wrong.
-Actually, I didn't water it before the dry it, and I water it via a spoon.
Thanks God! It has a drainage hole which was created before the met me

I will search those keywords.

That 's good - though I wouldn't water it with a spoon. Junipers belong outside, they can tolerate cold. However, don't bring it outdoors now if it is very cold, as the plant won't be used to it...

I saw it but I thought it was a reflection. You are right, it 's not a reflection, it are webs. Spider mites?

What you have is a low quality plant, that cannot really be called a bonsai.
This is a commercial product that hasn't received the care and training a real bonsai would have gotten.
It has been indoors, where it doesn't belong.
It is infected with what looks like spider mite
The plant is already turning yellow - these parts will die. There is little life left.
Treat it against spider mite ( )
Water it properly. Try to get it outdoors as soon as the temperatures are not too low (don't know your local climate and temperatures).
Then still the chances for this plant are very slim.
