89# From Paul Eggert (1996-05-04):
90# Shanks has Yerevan switching to 3:00 (with Russian DST) in spring 1991,
91# but usno1995 has Armenia at 4:00 (with DST), and Edgar Der-Danieliantz
92# <edd@AIC.NET> reported today that Yerevan probably won't use DST this year,
93# though it did use DST in 1995. We guess Yerevan stayed in sync with Moscow
94# between 1990 and 1995, but stopped using DST in 1996.
95# Der-Danieliantz also asked for a better abbreviation than `YSK'
96# after independence. Apparently no abbreviation is in common use;
97# use `AMST/AMDT' since `AM' is the ISO country code for Armenia.
