Turkije geïrriteerd door geringe steun Europese landen na aanslagen Istanboel (en)

Turkish foreign minister Abdullah Gül has criticised Europe for not always sharing intelligence after last month's car bomb attacks in Istanbul.

Both Mr Gül and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan are expected to raise the issue of sharing intelligence at the coming EU summit in Brussels, the BBC reports.

Mr Gül said Europe has failed "the solidarity test in the fight against terrorism", and warned European leaders that if their countries were attacked "everyone will think twice before co-operating".

On the other hand, Turkey praised neighboring Syria and Iran for supporting the investigation.

Travel warnings issued by some European countries as well as visa restrictions on Turkish nationals wishing to travel to Britain have been seen as "Western attempts to isolate the country".

Prime Minister Erdogan also criticised Britain for not sharing intelligence on future attacks, when the British government warned its citizens that future attacks were "imminent", the BBC said.
