Sasunik prayer times overview
For Sasunik it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Sasunik prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Sasunik coordinates: 40.2501°N and 44.3445°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Sasunik the sun rises at 06:06, while Maghrib begins at 20:10. Daylight lasts 14 часов 4 минуты. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Sasunik the period from Maghrib (20:10) to Fajr (04:33) lasts 8 часов 23 минуты. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Sasunik the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Sasunik prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:33 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:10 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:36 the start of the night prayer.
The Sasunik prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Sasunik
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
The prayer schedule in Sasunik is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (04:33) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (20:10) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Sasunik it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
