Why Erdogan gave NATO leaders loaded revolvers

NATO leaders received engraved revolvers and ammunition from Turkish President Erdogan after a summit. Several leaders discovered the contents of the gift much later, or had not seen it. Security services seized the weapons, causing logistical and protocol-related headaches for delegations. Some leaders' gifts remained in Turkey due to transport regulations and previous incidents. The unusual gift prompted questions about President Erdogan's intentions and the purpose behind it.
