  • The Turkish government has decided to change the DST schedule for 2011, pushing back the start-date from March 27 th to March 28 th .   The existing timezone (UTC +2:00) Athens, Bucharest, Istanbul is shared with several countries who are not changing their DST schedule.  Therefore a new timezone has been added, Turkey Standard Time.






  • A Windows hotfix has been published to enable this http://support.microsoft.com/KB/2523087 .  Customers who want the update should install the hotfix and select the new timezone, display name (UTC +2:00) Istanbul .
