British Prime Minister Keir Starmer says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gifted pistols to fellow leaders who attended a NATO-related summit in Ankara. Starmer, according to reporting from both outlets, describes Erdogan offering a pistol to each attending leader as a present. The Daily Mail adds that Starmer was given a gun and “live ammo,” but also states he leaves the items in Turkey; NDTV focuses on Starmer’s claim that Erdogan gifted pistols to the other leaders as well. Both accounts attribute the information to Starmer and refer to the same Ankara event and the same allegation that the Turkish president presented firearms to participating leaders. Neither source provides independent verification of the items’ contents or the circumstances of any subsequent handling beyond Starmer’s statements. The reports therefore rely on the British prime minister’s account while differing in how much additional detail they provide, such as mention of ammunition and what Starmer did with the firearm afterward.
