About the time in Turkey
Around 82,319,724 people live in Turkey, 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 06:42 and sunset at 06:11 local time, giving 11h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.00, 35.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Turkey.
Clocks in Turkey stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Turkey.
