Each entry records a distinct daylight saving milestone for Turkiye. An adoption marks the year clocks first began shifting; an abolition marks the year the country stopped changing them and settled on a single year-round offset; a modification covers changes to the start or end dates, the size of the shift, or which regions take part; and a reform vote records a legislative or parliamentary decision that may not yet be in force. Years reflect when the change took effect, not when it was announced, so a 2019 vote and a later effective date can both appear.
Daylight saving rules change more often than most people expect, and historical offsets are exactly the detail that breaks date math for past timestamps, travel records, and historical scheduling.
