00:03Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered a rather unusual gift to EU leaders at this
00:08week's NATO Summit in Ankara, a revolver and six rounds.
00:13Some said the gift was meant to showcase the Turkish growing defence industry.
00:18Some leaders had to leave their gift behind due to gun laws in their countries, while
00:23others such as the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen planned to
00:27donate it to museums.
00:28So, the President obviously thanked President Erdogan for the gift.
00:35Now, because it is a firearm, it will be securely transported and stored.
00:43And once it is decommissioned, it is the intention of the President to donate this gun to a military
00:53museum.
00:53In a more challenging world, the EU-Turkiye partnership matters more than ever, Ursula von der Leyen
01:00wrote on her social media account.
01:02After meeting with President Erdogan alongside EU Council President Antony Kosta at the NATO
01:07summit, von der Leyen stressed Turkey has been an important partner in addressing the crisis
01:13the Middle East and the war in Ukraine and called for a settlement of the Cyprus issue through
01:18the UN-led process.
