Subject: 2007 Year DST rules for Turkey

Hi Paul,

This is Amar Devegowda from IBM India Software Labs.

Recently I had informed you about the change in DST rules for Turkey, and you had provided the Time Tables with the modified rules accordingly.  Thanks for the same.

I came to know that Turkey has changed again the time at which the DST starts and ends this year 2007 at a very late stage.    The DST now starts at 3:00AM on 25th March 2007 and ends at 04:00AM on 28th October 2007 as against  1:00AM on 25th March 2007 and 2:00AM on 28th October 2007 respectively (as per the previous rules).

The latest rules are available at -
http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone.html?n=107

I have some official information as well on this at the following websites:
1. http://www.ntvmsnbc.com/news/402029.asp

2. The following link  is the Turkish Official Newspaper's page:
http://rega.basbakanlik.gov.tr/
Since there was no direct link to DST rules announcement, a Turkish person has provided the below attached document to show you how you can get access to the formal DST announcement in the above link.



Can you please update the time zone tables and also let me know when and which Time Zone Table would have the new Turkish DST rules ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Amar
