# From Paul Eggert <eggert@twinsun.com> (1995-12-19):
|

#
|
|
# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
|

# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
|
|
# Except where otherwise noted, it is the source for the data below.

# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,

# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which

# I found in the UCLA library.

|
#
|

|
|
# <edd@AIC.NET> reported today that Yerevan probably won't use DST this year,
|
|
# though it did use DST in 1995. We guess Yerevan stayed in sync with Moscow
|
|
# between 1990 and 1995, but stopped using DST in 1996.
|
|
# Der-Danieliantz also asked for a better abbreviation than `YSK'
|
|
# after independence. Apparently no abbreviation is in common use;
|
|
# use `AMST/AMDT' since `AM' is the ISO country code for Armenia.

# No they don't. See TIME mag, February 17, 1986 p.52. Even though

# China is across 4 physical time zones, before Feb 1, 1986 only the

# According to the Office of the Secretary General of the Ministry of

# Interior, there is NO set rule for Daylight-Savings/Standard time changes.
|
|
# Each year they decide anew what havoc to wreak on the country. However,
|
|
# there is a "supposed" set of rules which is subject to change depending
|
|
# on the party the Minister of Interior, the size of the coalition
|
|
# government, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. Hence,
|
|
# changes may need to be made on a semi-annual basis. One thing is entrenched
|
|
# in law, however: that there must be at least 150 days of daylight savings
|
|
# time annually. Ever since 1993, the change to daylight savings time has
|
|
# been from midnight Thursday night to 1 a.m. Friday morning and the change
|
|
# back to standard time on Saturday night from midnight daylight savings time
|
|
# to 11 p.m. standard time. 1996 is an exception to this rule where the
|
|
# change back to standard time takes place on Sunday night instead of Saturday
|
|
# night to avoid conflicts with the Jewish New Year.
