Turkish President Abdullah Gül and French President Nicolas Sarkozy had an angry exchange over Iran at this weekend’s NATO summit in Lisbon, according to reports in the Turkish media.

Gül also criticized the European Union on the Cyprus issue, saying that the bloc had not kept the promises it made to Turkish Cypriots in 2004. Turkey has had a crisis of confidence toward the European bloc, Gül told EU leaders participating in the official summit dinner.
“We no longer have any confidence in you,” he said, according to the media reports.
