Starmer told British journalists that the pistols were engraved with the name of each individual leader and were accompanied by a box of ammunition, the British Press Association reported, according to AFP.

Starmer says he had to leave his gift in Turkey, however, because it would be illegal to bring the gun home to the UK, despite a letter from Erdogan lifting export controls on weapons.

It is unclear what kind of gun it is.
