Solution

Turkey is currently on daylight saving time. It uses UTC+03:00 until October 27, when it will switch back to UTC+02:00. Details here.

Your standard time zone offset is +2, but your current offset is +3. Please read the timezone tag wiki, especially the section titled "Time Zone != Offset".
