Daylight saving time in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan moved its clocks one hour forward every spring from 1997 to 2015. The last change back to UTC+4 was on 25 October 2015.
On 17 March 2016 the Cabinet of Ministers cancelled the switch to summer time, on a proposal from the National Academy of Sciences. Baku has stayed on UTC+4 since.
