[tz] Fwd: Turkey timezone 1940/41

[Alois Treindl]

The claim that Turkey had double daylight time in 1940/41 as was published in http://www.astrolojidergisi.com/yazsaati.htm
has now been retracted. I had insisted on a double check, because the wording in official documents is often unclear and ambiguous.
