According to decision #131 of the Cabinet of Ministers dated 17.03.2016, switching to daylight-saving time on March 27, 2016 has been abolished.

The decision #21 of the Cabinet of Ministers dated 17.03.1997 has become invalid.

Taking into account that the switching to winter and summer time in the country causes medical-psychological and socio-moral problems and several difficulties from synchronization of ICT systems, the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS) Presidium has suggested to abolish switching to winter and summer time basing on GMT+4.

In 1997, the Cabinet of Ministers passed a decision on application of summer and winter time in the country.
