Clock time is about one hour later than [[solar noon]] in Armenia, as presented on the top map. Consequently, population activity hours are similar to those in [[Paris]] or [[Barcelona]], which have about the same shift to solar time (soft pink on the above-mentioned map). They are about one hour later compared to those in [[Berlin]] and [[Vienna]] (white on the map), and are two hours later than those in [[Warsaw]] and [[New York City|New York]] (soft blue on the map).

Armenia Time (AMT; Armenian: Հայաստանի ժամանակ, romanizedHayastani zhamanak) is a time zone used in Armenia. Armenia Time is four hours ahead of UTC at UTC+04:00.[1]

Clock time is about one hour later than solar noon in Armenia. Consequently, population activity hours are similar to those in Paris or Barcelona, which have about the same shift to solar time. They are about one hour later compared to those in Berlin and Vienna, and are two hours later than those in Warsaw and New York.
