Turkey's Erdogan gifted NATO leaders an engraved revolver each

BySUZAN FRASER Associated Press
July 10, 2026

ANKARA, Turkey -- Western leaders came to Turkey to discuss security in an increasingly perilous world. They each left with a revolver and six rounds.

The unconventional gift from the host of this week's NATO summit, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, was meant to showcase his country's growing defense industry.

But it left officials across the alliance scratching their heads.

Some were forced to leave their gifts behind due to gun laws in their countries, while others donated theirs to museums.

“It struck me that ⁠my gift of maple syrup kind of undermatched,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told reporters, adding that the firearm was now in police possession. “I would like to reassure Canadians, they keep guns away from me.”

“An unusual gift from President @RTErdogan at the NATO Summit:
a Magnum revolver with ammunition,
engraved with my name,” Hungary’s new Prime Minister Péter Magyar said on X,
posting a photograph of a display box containing the revolver and six cartridges.

It was not immediately clear what he did with the gift.

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Union commission president, thanked Erdogan for the gift,
which will be decommissioned
and donated to a military museum, her spokesperson said.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer told reporters that the gift bag included a note waiving export controls. Still,
he left his behind to be decommissioned,
because it would be illegal to import it into Britain.

Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever
handed his revolver to airport police upon arrival.

The revolvers gifted to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten were left at their countries’ embassies in Ankara and would also be taken out of service, officials said.

In Italy, the gun was logged as a gift at Palazzo Chigi — the official seat of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, an official said. In Greece, officials said the firearm would be donated to the War Museum.

Croatian President Zoran Milanović said he only found out after his return from the summit that Erdogan had given him a gun. His office said it would probably be handed over to a police museum.

“I didn’t take it. I shoot from different weapons,” Milanovic said, referring to his political style.

The White House did not immediately respond to questions about Erdogan's gift to the leaders.

Erdogan's office has not commented on the gift.

Turkish media reports identified the revolvers as
the Gumusay .357 Magnum,
a vintage six‑shot revolver produced by the Turkish state arms manufacturer, MKE.

Reports said the gun aimed to highlight Turkey's defense industry, which in recent decades has transformed from a major importer into an increasingly self‑reliant producer of advanced military systems, including drones and warships. It is in the process of developing its own next‑generation fighter jet.

Gun culture is deeply rooted in Turkey, and the gift hardly triggered any reaction in the country. Umut Vakfi, a foundation campaigning for gun control, says incidents of armed violence have reached alarming levels, reporting more than 2,700 last year in the country of 86 million people.

Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency said participants at the summit were also given a more conventional gift: a copy of Erdogan's biography, titled: “The politics of courage: Erdogan and the rise of Türkiye.”

Most of the WOKE ['political'] recipients of Erdogan's gift are looking for ways to accept the pistol as a gift to their respective state,
some even 'choosing to deactivate' the pistol, during the process of its acceptance.

Our national leaders.....
don't want, either themselves [nor their children], to be involved in defending their nations
on a battlefield......of combat.

Do not even, want to touch a 'live' firearm.

Leave that......to people like Ben Roberts-Smith.

An individual, who was charged [by his senior officers] with the duty......to fight against insurgents, and 'irregular' combatants, in Afghanistan.

Enemy combatants who did not wear a military uniform.

No ?

@ Reply #1,

Yes tallowood,

An ISLAMIC ['leaning'] NATO....

The defensive objectives of NATO could be 'enhanced'....to better reflect the community interests,
of the growing numbers of members of moslem communities in....
Britain,
Sweden,
France,
Belgium,
Spain.

And to defend the introduction of Sharia law values [i.e. enforcing social respect for ISLAMIC values] and dress code obligations, within those jurisdictions.
.....just as the Mullahs [in Iran] seek to enhance those 'community values'.

Coz......ISLAM is Peace.
[......which is also stated as submission to ISLAM]

.

Enhancing the religious and community values of ISLAM.......

Emphasizing the communal love......of the moslem, is for his fellow believers.

.

"....take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends....
......he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them."
Koran 5.51

"Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves....."
Koran 48.29

"Thou wilt not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, loving those who resist Allah and His Messenger, even though they were their fathers or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred...."
Koran 58.22

"O ye who believe! Choose not your fathers nor your brethren for friends if they take pleasure in disbelief rather than faith. Whoso of you taketh them for friends, such are wrong-doers."
Koran 9.23

ISLAM........seeking social harmony......everywhere in the world.

Everywhere......where the moslem steps.

.

Jeremiah 7:8
Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit.
9 Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery,
and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal,
and walk after other gods whom ye know not;
10 And come and stand before me in this house,
which is called by my name, and say,
We are delivered to do all these abominations?
11 Is this house, which is called by my name,
become a den of robbers in your eyes?
Behold, even I have seen it, saith the LORD.

Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:
because thou hast rejected knowledge,
I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:
seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God,
I will also forget thy children.
7 As they were increased, so they sinned against me:
therefore will I change their glory into shame.

.

John 15:10
If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

"....And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead."
Luke 16:31
