82 | # Shanks has Yerevan switching to 3:00 (with Russian DST) in spring 1991, |
83 | # but usno1995 has Armenia at 4:00 (with DST), and Edgar Der-Danieliantz | |
2b79b6d5 UD |
84 | # <edd@AIC.NET> reported (1996-05-04) that Yerevan probably wouldn't use DST |
85 | # in 1996, though it did use DST in 1995. IATA SSIM (1991/1998) reports that | |
86 | # Armenia switched from 3:00 to 4:00 in 1998 and observed DST after 1991, | |
a7123f0e UD |
87 | # but started switching at 3:00s in 1998. IATA SSIM (1999-02) reports |
88 | # that they switch one day later in 2001 (i.e. on Mondays). | |
2b79b6d5 UD |
89 | # What a mess! We guess Yerevan DST stayed in sync with Moscow between 1990 |
90 | # and 1995, did not use DST in 1996, and started using DST again in 1997. | |

625 | # 'Tokyo' usually stands for the former location of Tokyo Astronomical | |

627 | # This data is from 'Rika Nenpyou (Chronological Scientific Tables) 1996' | |

629 | # JST (Japan Standard Time) has been used since 1888-01-01 00:00 (JST). | |
630 | # The law is enacted on 1886-07-07. | |
631 | ||
632 | # From Hideyuki Suzuki (1998-11-16): | |
633 | # The ordinance No. 51 (1886) established "standard time" in Japan, | |
634 | # which stands for the time on E 135 degree. | |
635 | # In the ordinance No. 167 (1895), "standard time" was renamed to "central | |
636 | # standard time". And the same ordinance also established "western standard | |
637 | # time", which stands for the time on E 120 degree.... But "western standard | |
638 | # time" was abolished in the ordinance No. 529 (1937). In the ordinance No. | |
639 | # 167, there is no mention regarding for what place western standard time is | |
640 | # standard.... | |
641 | # | |
642 | # I wrote "ordinance" above, but I don't know how to translate. | |
643 | # In Japanese it's "chokurei", which means ordinance from emperor. | |
644 | ||
645 | # Shanks claims JST in use since 1896, and that a few places (e.g. Ishigaki) | |

886 | # From Amos Shapir <amos@nsof.co.il> (1998-02-15): | |
887 | # | |
888 | # From 1917 until 1948-05-15, all of Palestine, including the parts now | |
889 | # known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule. | |
890 | # Therefore the rules given for Israel for that period, apply there too... | |
891 | # | |
892 | # The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian rule between 1948-05-15 until 1967-06-05 | |
893 | # (except a short occupation by Israel from 1956-11 till 1957-03, but no | |
894 | # time zone was affected then). It was never formally annexed to Egypt, | |
895 | # though. | |
896 | # | |
897 | # The rest of Palestine was under Jordanian rule at that time, formally | |
898 | # annexed in 1950 as the West Bank (and the word "Trans" was dropped from | |
899 | # the country's previous name of "the Hashemite Kingdom of the | |
900 | # Trans-Jordan"). So the rules for Jordan for that time apply. Major | |
901 | # towns in that area are Nablus (Shchem), El-Halil (Hebron), Ramallah, and | |
902 | # East Jerusalem. | |
903 | # | |
904 | # Both areas were occupied by Israel in June 1967, but not annexed (except | |
905 | # for East Jerusalem). They were on Israel time since then; there might | |
906 | # have been a Military Governor's order about time zones, but I'm not aware | |
907 | # of any (such orders may have been issued semi-annually whenever summer | |
908 | # time was in effect, but maybe the legal aspect of time was just neglected). | |
909 | # | |
910 | # The Palestinian Authority was established in 1993, and got hold of most | |
911 | # towns in the West Bank and Gaza by 1995. I know that in order to | |
912 | # demonstrate...independence, they have been switching to | |
913 | # summer time and back on a different schedule than Israel's, but I don't | |
914 | # know when this was started, or what algorithm is used (most likely the | |
915 | # Jordanian one). | |
916 | # | |
917 | # To summarize, the table should probably look something like that: | |
918 | # | |
919 | # Area \ when | 1918-1947 | 1948-1967 | 1967-1995 | 1996- | |

922 | # West bank | Zion | Jordan | Zion | Jordan | |
923 | # Gaza | Zion | Egypt | Zion | Jordan | |
924 | # | |
925 | # I guess more info may be available from the PA's web page (if/when they | |
926 | # have one). | |
927 | ||
928 | # From Paul Eggert (1998-02-25): | |
929 | # Shanks writes that Gaza did not observe DST until 1957, but we'll go | |
930 | # with Shapir and assume that it observed DST from 1940 through 1947, | |
931 | # and that it used Jordanian rules starting in 1996. | |
932 | # We don't yet need a separate entry for the West Bank, since | |
933 | # the only differences between it and Gaza that we know about | |
934 | # occurred before our cutoff date of 1970. | |
935 | # However, as we get more information, we may need to add entries | |
936 | # for parts of the West Bank as they transitioned from Israel's rules | |
937 | # to Palestine's rules. If you have more info about this, please | |
938 | # send it to tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov for incorporation into future editions. | |

940 | # From IINS News Service - Israel - 1998-03-23 10:38:07 Israel time, |
941 | # forwarded by Ephraim Silverberg: | |
942 | # | |
943 | # Despite the fact that Israel changed over to daylight savings time | |
944 | # last week, the PLO Authority (PA) has decided not to turn its clocks | |
945 | # one-hour forward at this time. As a sign of independence from Israeli rule, | |
946 | # the PA has decided to implement DST in April. | |
