Since there is a Europe/Nicosia link, presumably there should be a Europe/North_Nicosia link as well?
I'd rather not. In hindsight the Europe/Nicosia link was a mistake, and let's not compound it.
? Cyprus is part of Europe and Greece and Turkey are further east so I was somewhat surprised to see it moved outside europe! https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/cy.html if you want some documentation ...
OK Geography is a little off, I still concider cyprus is part of the island area around Greece, but if cyprus is not classified as part of Europe then Turkey should also move to asia since that is designated as 'Middle East' rather than 'Europe'. My point is on what basis is the statement "Europe/Nicosia link was a mistake" made?
It should never have existed in the first place as the time was always linked to either greece (Europe/Athens) or Turkey (Asia/Istanbul)? It's about the same reason why The Hopi-Reservation in Arizona doesn't have it's own timezone but uses America/Denver instead.
