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 Northern Cyprus until it reverted to Eastern European Time (EET) in October 2017.[2]

During some seasons (March–October), the TRT is also on the same time as Eastern European Summer Time. The IANA time zone identifier for Turkey is Europe/Istanbul.[3]
