Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan presented personalized weapons to all heads of state participating in the NATO summit in Ankara. The act was confirmed by several leaders who publicly showed their gifts.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda have already displayed the weapons they received. Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal was forced to leave the weapon in Ankara because Estonian law prohibits its import in such a manner.
