About Ankara
Ankara became Turkey's capital in 1923 and lies on the Anatolian plateau, about 450 km east of Istanbul. Turkey has kept UTC+03:00 all year since 2016. That puts it two hours ahead of Sweden in winter and one hour in summer.
There is no summer time in Ankara; when Sweden changes its clocks, the difference changes by one hour.
