What all sources covered

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gifted each NATO leader a personalized Gümüsay .357 Magnum revolver and live ammunition during the NATO summit in Ankara. The gesture is seen as a symbol of diplomacy but has raised logistical and security concerns among Western leaders. The revolver is a domestically produced weapon, recognized as Turkey's first indigenous firearm. Each leader's handling of the gift varied based on their national protocols. UK Labour leader Keir Starmer decided to leave the revolver in Turkey after the summit.
