824# Kazakhstan
825# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
826# Andrew Evtichov <evti@chevron.com> (1996-04-13) writes that Kazakhstan
827# stayed in sync with Moscow after 1990, and that Aqtobe (formerly Aktyubinsk)
828# and Aqtau (formerly Shevchenko) are the largest cities in their zones.
829# Guess that Aqtau and Aqtobe diverged in 1995, since that's the first time

833# German Iofis, ELSI, Almaty (2001-10-09) reports that Kazakhstan uses
834# RussiaAsia rules, instead of switching at 00:00 as the IATA has it.
835# Go with Shanks, who has them always using RussiaAsia rules.
836# Also go with the following claims of Shanks:
837#
838# - Kazakhstan did not observe DST in 1991.
839# - Qyzylorda switched from +5:00 to +6:00 on 1992-01-19 02:00.

1101# and ending at 00:01 local time October 6, 2002. This is what I was

1103# 00:01 was to make it clear which day it was on.

1107# http://www.pak.gov.pk/public/news/app/app06_dec.htm
1108# (dated 2001-12-06) which says that the Cabinet adopted a scheme "to
1109# advance the clocks by one hour on the night between the first
1110# Saturday and Sunday of April and revert to the original position on
1111# 15th October each year". This agrees with McDow's 04-07 at 00:00,
1112# but disagrees about the October transition, and makes it sound like
1113# it's not on a trial basis. Also, the "between the first Saturday
1114# and Sunday of April" phrase, if taken literally, means that the
1115# transition takes place at 00:00 on the first Sunday on or after 04-02.

824# Kazakhstan
825# From Paul Eggert (1996-11-22):
826# Andrew Evtichov <evti@chevron.com> (1996-04-13) writes that Kazakhstan
827# stayed in sync with Moscow after 1990, and that Aqtobe (formerly Aktyubinsk)
828# and Aqtau (formerly Shevchenko) are the largest cities in their zones.
829# Guess that Aqtau and Aqtobe diverged in 1995, since that's the first time
830# IATA SSIM mentions a third time zone in Kazakhstan.
831#
832# From Paul Eggert (2001-10-18):
833# German Iofis, ELSI, Almaty (2001-10-09) reports that Kazakhstan uses
834# RussiaAsia rules, instead of switching at 00:00 as the IATA has it.
835# Go with Shanks, who has them always using RussiaAsia rules.
836# Also go with the following claims of Shanks:
837#
838# - Kazakhstan did not observe DST in 1991.
839# - Qyzylorda switched from +5:00 to +6:00 on 1992-01-19 02:00.
840# - Oral switched from +5:00 to +4:00 in spring 1989.

1096# Pakistan
1097
1098# From Rives McDow (2002-03-13):
1099# I have been advised that Pakistan has decided to adopt dst on a
1100# TRIAL basis for one year, starting 00:01 local time on April 7, 2002
1101# and ending at 00:01 local time October 6, 2002. This is what I was
1102# told, but I believe that the actual time of change may be 00:00; the
1103# 00:01 was to make it clear which day it was on.
1104
1105# From Paul Eggert (2002-03-15):
1106# Jesper Norgaard found this URL:
1107# http://www.pak.gov.pk/public/news/app/app06_dec.htm
1108# (dated 2001-12-06) which says that the Cabinet adopted a scheme "to
1109# advance the clocks by one hour on the night between the first
1110# Saturday and Sunday of April and revert to the original position on
1111# 15th October each year". This agrees with McDow's 04-07 at 00:00,
1112# but disagrees about the October transition, and makes it sound like
1113# it's not on a trial basis. Also, the "between the first Saturday
1114# and Sunday of April" phrase, if taken literally, means that the
1115# transition takes place at 00:00 on the first Sunday on or after 04-02.

1133# known as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, was under British rule.
