Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan
Erdogan, who has forged an increasingly close alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin, said Turkey could not take steps against Moscow "based on an allegation".
He acknowledged that no concrete compromise or solution had been achieved at the summit, but expressed hope that such would be possible in the future.
She said that dialogue between the European Union and Turkey had never been suspended and the meeting produced no concrete progress on any of the controversial issues.
Erdogan has alarmed the West with a massive purge since a failed coup attempt in July 2016.
The bloc is set to grant Turkey a second 3 billion euro ($3.7 billion) tranche to provide for the Syrians it hosts under a March 2016 deal to take in migrants fleeing the country's war.
The issue of Turkey's membership negotiations began in 2005, then stalled for five years and have now effectively collapsed.
Tusk said improved relations would depend on progress on issues including the rule of law and press freedom as well as Syria.
If that was not possible, Turkey would prevent them itself, the council added.
But Erdogan struck a more optimistic tone, telling reporters: "We hope that we have left a very hard period behind in Turkey-EU relations".
Turkey will continue to provide medical support to the region, he added.
Recalling that some European countries want to end accession talks or initiate to introduce alternative partnership models to Turkey, Ankara wants to avert breakage and aims to perpetuate dialogue with the EU, he said.
Brussels leaders cited these geostrategic interests as common ground for greater cooperation with Turkey, despite differences.
"Our meeting today demonstrated that while our relationship is going through hard times, in areas where we do cooperate, we cooperate well", Tusk said.
