Changes to Cyprus timezones
Today I've heard end of radio program talking about recent some changes in Cyprus timezones. I did not hear the details, but conlusion was, that for travelers travelling between Cyprus and Northern Cyprus (I know, that this is possible) this can a be a little experience.
Expert talking in that radio program underlined that this recent change to Cyprus timezones came from the fact, that both sides of island want to have their timezones aligned to home countries -- i.e.:
- the Republic of Cyprus's (ROC) want to have the same timezone as Greece has and
- the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus's (TRNC) want to have times zone aligned to Turkey.
However, when reading Wikipedia's articles on both countries (links above) I found out, that both of them actually have the same timezone:
What am I missing (from that radio talk or in generally)? Can someone shed any light on this recent timezone change in both sides of Cyprus (if there was any recent change at all)?

Does Cyprus have 2 time zones?
On October 30, 2016, when Europe and the rest of Cyprus will set their clocks back 1 hour to UTC+2, Northern Cyprus will remain on UTC+3. The time change will split Cyprus into 2 time zones, giving the island the same time during the summer, but causing a 1-hour time difference during the winter months.Do clocks change Cyprus?
Today, most countries in Europe including Cyprus follow a synchronised DST, or summer time. If your country uses Daylight Saving Time (DST), you have to change your clocks twice a year. On the last Sunday of March (early morning) when the clock shows 03:00 am we turn it one hour ahead to show 04:00 am.Do the clocks go forward in Cyprus 2022?
