Title: Erdogan’s Gift Revolver Left Behind in Turkey Due to Norwegian Gun Laws

**Article:** Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre did not bring home a gift from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The revolver, engraved with Støre’s name, was left in Turkey after a NATO summit in Ankara. The Prime Minister’s office confirmed the decision to Norwegian broadcaster NRK. “There are strict rules for importing weapons into Norway,” said communications advisor Anne Nordskog. “By agreement with the Turkish Foreign Ministry, the weapon was returned to their ministry in Ankara.” Erdogan gave each leader at the summit a personalized revolver and a case. He also attached a note that lifted export controls on the weapons. However, several leaders chose not to take the gift home. According to news agency NTB, Sweden’s Ulf Kristersson, Britain’s Keir Starmer, and Germany’s Friedrich Merz also left their revolvers in Turkey for now. Støre made the same choice.
