About the time in Merkez
Sunrise today lands at 06:33 and sunset at 08:01 local time, giving 13h 28m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (40.13, 26.42) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Merkez.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Merkez 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.
Merkez follows the civil time used across its region of Turkey; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
