# Classically, Cyprus belongs to Asia; e.g. see Herodotus, Histories, I.72.

# However, for various reasons many users expect to find it under Europe.

# was "blended" with the Central zone. Therefore, Kazakhstan now has

# two time zones, and difference between them is one hour. The zone

# closer to UTC is the former Western zone (probably still called the

# same), encompassing four provinces in the west:Aqtobe, Atyrau,

#Mangghystau, and West Kazakhstan. The other zone encompasses

# same), encompassing four provinces in the west:Aqtöbe, Atyraū,

#Mangghystaū, and West Kazakhstan. The other zone encompasses

# everything else.... I guess that would make Kazakhstan time zones

# de jure UTC+5 and UTC+6 respectively.

# From Stepan Golosunov (2016-03-27):

# Review of the linked documents from http://adilet.zan.kz/

# produced the following data for post-1991 Kazakhstan:

#

#

# This implies that on 1991-03-31 Asia/Oral remained on +04/+05 while

# the rest of Kazakhstan switched from +06/+07 to +05/06 or from +05/06

# to +04/+05. It's unclear howKzyl-Orda oblast moved into the fifth

# to +04/+05. It's unclear howQyzylorda oblast moved into the fifth

# time belt. (By switching from +04/+05 to +05/+06 on 1991-09-29?) ...

#

# 1. Act of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Kazakhstan

# on the whole territory of Kazakhstan 1 hour forward on 1992-01-19 at

# 2:00, specified DST rules. It acknowledged that Kazakhstan was

# located in the fourth and the fifth time belts and specified the

# oblasts (notably including Turgai andKzyl-Orda oblasts into the fifth

# border between them to be located east ofQostanay and Aktyubinsk

# oblasts (notably including Turgai andQyzylorda oblasts into the fifth

# time belt).

#

# This means switch on 1992-01-19 at 2:00 from +04/+05 to +05/+06 for

# Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Aqtobe, Asia/Oral,Atyrau andKustanay oblasts; from

# +05/+06 to +06/+07 for Asia/Almaty and Asia/Qyzylorda (and Arkalyk) [*]....

# This means change from +05/+06 to +04/+05.

#

# There is no zone for Atyrau currently (listed under Asia/Aqtau in

# This means change from +05/+06 to +04/+05....

#

# 6. Act of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan

# from 2000-11-23 No. 1749

# The only changes I noticed are in definition of the border between the

# fourth and the fifth time belts. They account for changes in spelling

# and administrative division (splitting of Turgai oblast in 1997

# probably changed time in territories incorporated intoKostanay oblast

# (including Arkalyk) from +06/+07 to +05/+06) and moveKyzylorda oblast

# probably changed time in territories incorporated intoQostanay oblast
