Dear tz team,

I would like to report that the time of daylight saving for Azerbaijan
is incorrect in current version of tz. In the latest version of tz, both
rules become effective at 1:00am.

According to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers on daylight
saving in the territory of Azerbaijan:

1. Inasmuch as every year since 1997 all clocks are advanced one hour at
4am on the last Sunday of March, Azerbaijan Republic must pass to summer
time.

2. By turning clocks back an hour at 5am on the last Sunday of October,
summer time is cancelled.

Full text of resolution in English and Azeri is available at:
<http://aif.az/docs/daylight_res.pdf>. Original images of resolution
will be added to this document later. This document is effective since
March 1997.

Thus, daylight saving rule for Azerbaijan should be:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
# Azerbaijan
# Rule	NAME	FROM	TO	TYPE	IN	ON	AT	SAVE	LETTER/S
Rule	Azer	1997	max	-	Mar	lastSun	 4:00	1:00	S
Rule	Azer	1997	max	-	Oct	lastSun	 5:00	0	-
--------------------------------------------------------------------
