History

Until 2016, Turkey was using Eastern European Time (EET) in the winter (UTC+02:00) and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) (UTC+03:00) during the summer.^[4] The date for transition between standard time and daylight saving time generally followed EU rules, but has some variations some years. In 2016, the decision to stay on UTC+03:00 year-round was enacted.^[5]
