Time in Turkey
Time zone (UTC+3) / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Turkey, time is given by UTC+03:00 year-round. This time is also called Turkey Time (TRT). The time at most is the same as in the Moscow Time and Arabia Standard Time zones. TRT was adopted by the Turkish Government on 8 September 2016.[1] It was also in use in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus[2] until it reverted to Eastern European Time (EET) in October 2017.[3]
