Daylight saving time in Turkey

Daylight saving time in Turkey

DST (also locally known by the expression "summer-time") was introduced in Turkey in 1947, but suspended from 1965 through 1972. Since 1974, Turkey follows European Summer Time.

In 2008, the Turkish Ministry of Energy proposed that Turkey should abolish daylight saving time while at the same time switching to GMT +2.5, originally from 2009 onwards, but when this appeared infeasible, to start in 2011.[1] The plan has not been heard of since.

For the year 2011, Turkey switched to European Summer Time at 3:00 am in the night from Sunday March 27 to Monday March 28, one day later than the rest of Europe, to avoid disrupting the national university-entrance examinations held on March 27.[2]
