It is four hours ahead of UTC at UTC+04:00.{{cite book|author=Nautical Almanac Office (U S )|title=The Nautical Almanac for the Year 2014|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Xi3A8_DCvAcC&pg=PA262|date=17 May 2013|publisher=Government Printing Office|isbn=978-0-16-091756-1|page=262}}
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.
The former breakaway state of the Republic of Artsakh also used Armenia Time until its dissolution in 2023.
Daylight saving time
Armenia does not utilize daylight saving time (DST). The Government of Armenia issued a decree that cancelled the observance of daylight saving time, otherwise known as Armenia Summer Time (AMST) in 2012.[https://www.timetemperature.com/asia/armenia_time_zone.shtml Armenia Time Zone - Armenia Current Time - Daylight Saving Time].
