Armenia Time (AMT; Armenian: Հայաստանի ժամանակ, romanized: Hayastani zhamanak) is a time zone used in Armenia. Armenia Time is four hours ahead of UTC at UTC+04:00.[1]
Clock time is about one hour later than solar noon in Armenia. Consequently, population activity hours are similar to those in Paris or Barcelona, which have about the same shift to solar time. They are about one hour later compared to those in Berlin and Vienna, and are two hours later than those in Warsaw and New York.
Daylight saving time
[edit]Armenia does not utilize Daylight saving time. The Government of Armenia issued a decree that cancelled the observance of daylight saving time, otherwise known as Armenia Summer Time (AMST) in 2012.[2]
Other time zones in UTC +4
[edit]
Some time zones exist that have the same offset as AMT, but can be found under a different name in other countries, these include:[3]
- Georgia Time
- Azerbaijan Time
- Gulf Standard Time
- Mauritius Time
- United Arab Emirates Standard Time
- Réunion Time Zone
- Samara Time
- Seychelles Time
Artsakh
[edit]The former breakaway state of the Republic of Artsakh also used Armenia Time (AMT).
