sister center ICARDA of my work CIMMYT is confirming that Syria DST will not
take place 1.st November at 0:00 o'clock but 1.st November at 24:00 or rather
Midnight between Thursday and Friday. This does make more sence than having it
between Wednesday and Thursday (two workdays in Syria) since the weekend in
Syria is not Saturday and Sunday, but Friday and Saturday. So now it is
implemented at midnight of the last workday before weekend.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

this is semi-official information, but that is the best I can do. I hope you

essential part of the text (it's a scanned letter with ICARDA
