# From Jesper Norgard (2007-10-27):

# The 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...

# I found confirmation on this in this gov.sy-article (Arabic):

# http://wehda.alwehda.gov.sy/_print_veiw.asp?FileName=12521710520070926111247

#

# which using Google's translate tools says:

# Council of Ministers also approved the commencement of work on

# From Arthur David Olson (2007-10-30):

# My best guess for the future is first Friday in November.
