Note that per
http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz-announce/2016-September/000041.html
the IANA TZ folk have not chosen to instantiate "TRT" as a time zone
abbreviation:
Turkey switched from EET/EEST (+02/+03) to permanent +03,
effective 2016-09-07. (Thanks to Burak AYDIN.) Use "+03" rather
than an invented abbreviation for the new time.
This is in line with their new policy of not inventing abbreviations
that don't have any real-world currency. If you have evidence that
"TRT" is actually in use in Turkey, please send it to the TZ list
(not here).
