# The sister center ICARDA of my work CIMMYT is confirming that Syria DST will
1785
# not take place 1.st November at 0:00 o'clock but 1.st November at 24:00 or

# weekend in Syria is not Saturday and Sunday, but Friday and Saturday. So now
1789
# it is implemented at midnight of the last workday before weekend...
