hundreds demonstrate against clock changes in Northern Cyprus
Hundreds of union members and students demonstrated yesterday in northern Cyprus, protesting the decision to remain on +03 all year. This follows a school bus collision Tuesday morning, which killed the driver and two schoolgirls, and which was blamed in part on early-morning darkness.

The moral of the story - change your schedule, not the clock.

Yesterday there was a half-day general strike in Northern Cyprus in protest of daylight-saving etc., and the Cyprus Turkish Teachers Association has been striking every day from 08:00 to 09:00 (presumably, +03). President Mustafa Akıncı urged the government to switch back from daylight saving time, but has not gotten cabinet approval. Kanli Y. A general strike in Cyprus.
