About the time in Ankara
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Ankara day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Around 3,517,182 people live in Ankara, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:05 and sunset at 07:38 local time, giving 13h 32m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.92, 32.85) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ankara.
