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