Carney, other NATO leaders gifted personalized revolvers by Turkish president
OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney was gifted a personalized revolver and ammunition by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the conclusion of the NATO summit in Ankara.
Erdogan gave each visiting NATO leader a handgun with their name engraved on it as a gift.
Global Affairs Canada says the RCMP is having the weapon decommissioned so it no longer fires and that the ammunition was left in Turkey.
Canadian government officials have not said what kind of handgun Carney was gifted, but say they will look for a suitable home for the gun such as a museum.
