Time zone shift to bring Armenia closer to Moscow, Europe

PanARMENIAN.Net - The problem of time zone shift is on focus of Armenian Economy Ministry agenda.

As Economy Minister Tigran Davtyan told a resulting press conference on December 27, Armenian Parliament may adopt a relevant draft law stipulating time zone shift implementation in two stages.

According to him, before moving to a different time zone, transition to winter mode is envisaged to be abolished in Armenia, with a shift that corresponds to Armenia’s geographical position to be carried out in 1-2 years.

“The shift will bring us closer to Moscow and Europe’s time zone,” Minister Davtyan said.

The difference between Armenia’s, Greenwich and other European countries’ time zones comprises +4, and +3 respectively.

According to Minister Davtyan, the shift will be convenient both from business and tourism perspective, as well as for ordinary citizens.
