Der belgische Premierminister Bart De Wever brachte unwissentlich einen geladenen, personalisierten Revolver mit nach Hause, den der türkische Präsident Erdogan beim NATO-Gipfel geschenkt hatte.

The gift wasn’t opened until the delegation landed in Belgium, where they discovered the gun and ammunition.
The weapon was immediately handed over to airport police, and its fate is still undecided.

Was it also loaded? The bullets are in the case, yes, but are they also in the cylinder?
Gifting an empty gun is probably viewed as a bad luck in Turkey.
All of them got a personalized revolver
I wonder what the thinking was from Erdogan, everyone at the NATO summit got one. The Norwegian PM returned his in Turkey.

I hate it when that happens!
Fuckin‘ beest van een revolver precies.
People in these roles collect all kinds of weird gifts over the years.
It’s a good gift, I don’t know why there’s so much news about this.
Nice revolver though!
I get giving guns, swords and other types of weapons as conmemorative gifts during important diplomatic summits. It’s a well attested tradition on politics.
So correct me if I’m wrong, aren’t most of those either unloaded or unsharped?
That’s a cool gun
That’s not a loaded gun
„Did you pack your bags yourself?“
„Do you know what’s in them?“
„Any dangerous items?“
Fails all three of the check in questions.
Nice gift tbh
I doubt very much that it was loaded.
Oh, and if he doesn’t want it…..
Meanwhile the Dutch PM, Rob Jetten, left it at the Dutch Embassy in Turkey. It needs to be inspected and following other strict instructions before it can be shipped/send to the Netherlands.
I have to question the ‚loaded‘ part of this title when the bullets are visibly not in the gun.
Someone explained it in another reddit. Turks love guns, expect it to be just a proudly gift from a turk and not much more
Noice
I dont see the problem here, its 100% not loaded thats for sure.
I mean its a nato summit, where they talk about the fate of milions of lives and selling weapons to each other, a revolver like that is quite a fitting gift and it looks good too. Who wouldnt want a personalized engraved silber revolver???
Unknowingly… why such morons are pms?
And i get stopped at security because i forgot that i had a corkscrew in my backpack….
this news is kind of overblown lol, it’s just a gift who cares. The choice for a weapon might be related to Ottoman tradition of gifting daggers etc. Or simply an advertisement for a local revolver. But if your own security doesn’t scan boxes you get in a foreign country before landing, well that’s a bit of a concern.
I guarantee that the British Foreign office has a protocol just for this very situation.
That’s a badass gift.
„loaded“ lol, you can see the bullets.
I am highly skeptical that the firearm was actually loaded. Highly misleading OP. Possibly intentionally so.
The photograph shows six cartridges in the decorative box. The cylinder of the revolver appears to be empty. Which means unloaded.
erdogun
tf? and I will go to an airport tomorrow and get berated because I have a 120ml bottle of water or something.
