Cyprus Timezone Issue

[Gwillim Law]

This issue was discussed on the tz mailing list in September 2000, and again
in May 2004. The resolution in 2000 was to add Europe/Nicosia as an alias
for Asia/Nicosia. The accompanying comment reads, "for various reasons many
users expect to find [Cyprus] under Europe." When the issue was discussed
before, most reference sources placed Cyprus in Asia.

Perhaps it would be helpful to create a FAQ to deal with questions that come
up repeatedly, such as this one.

Yours,   Gwillim Law
