Talking to a local TV channel, Turkish Defense Minister Fikri Isik said he was not aware of the demand and that it amounted to an interference in their relations.
During a visit to Paris on Monday, Gargash called on Western nations including the United States, France, Germany and Britain to help monitor any agreement reached with Qatar to ensure they are not cooperating with jihadists.
Qatar said Saturday a list of demands by Saudi Arabia and its allies to end their blockade was not "reasonable" and "actionable".
"The alternative is not escalation, the alternative is parting of ways, because it is very hard for us to maintain a collective grouping", UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash told reporters.

On June 5, a number of countries, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt, cut diplomatic ties with Qatar and embargoed all sea, air and land traffic to the country, accusing Doha of supporting terrorist groups, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood terrorist movement, as well as of interfering in other countries' domestic affairs.
The wealthy Persian Gulf country is given 10 days to look into the demands and comply with them.

Qatar has also opened its doors to members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates consider a terrorist organization; to members of Hamas, the Palestinian militant group; and to the Afghan Taliban.
Kuwait, which is assisting in mediating the crisis, delivered the list to Qatar. It sent its first ship carrying food aid to Qatar and dispatched a small contingent of soldiers and armoured vehicles there on Thursday, while President Tayyip Erdogan spoke with Saudi Arabia's leaders on calming tension in the region.
- Curb diplomatic ties with Iran and limit trade. Under the 2015 nuclear deal, nuclear-related sanctions on Iran were eased but other sanctions remain in place.
Resisting the demands could prove hard for Qatar.
Qatar´s foreign affair ministry said it was "studying" the list, "in order to prepare an appropriate response".
"Maybe the fate of Al Jazeera will depend on talks between the government of Qatar and its neighbours".
The Saudi-led alliance regards Al Jazeera as a propaganda tool for Islamists that also undermines support for their governments.
David Hearst, Middle East Eye's editor-in-chief, said his organisation is not funded by Qatar - or any other state or group - and is here to stay.
