Turkey has raised claims that Britain spied on foreign governments attending G20 summits in London in 2009 with Britain's ambassador to the country, the Foreign Office has said.
Foreign diplomats had their computers monitored and phones intercepted by GCHQ, a report in the Guardian said.
UK PM David Cameron has refused to comment on the reports, said to be based on documents obtained by American whistleblower Edward Snowden.
It comes as G8 talks get under way.
The G8 summit of eight of the world's leaders is taking place in Northern Ireland.
'Phone call'
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "In line with longstanding practice we do not comment on intelligence matters.
"We can confirm that the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has raised this issue with the ambassador."
When asked if the ambassador had been summoned to Ankara, as reported by the Guardian, the spokeswoman said: "No, this was discussed in a phone call."
