Turkish President Erdoğan triggered widespread debate at the #Ankara #NATO Summit by gifting every #NATO leader a personalized revolver and matching ammunition. The unconventional presents created immediate legal headaches for several delegations; the #UK and #Canada were legally barred from bringing the firearms into their home countries, whereas #Germany and #Belgium processed them as official state property. Ultimately, the unusual gifts forced international security details and leaders to come up with creative workarounds to avoid breaking their own domestic laws.
