[SOLVED]Wrong Time

I am having issues about correcting time on my system. It always shows -3 hour lower than my time. (Europe/Istanbul)

timedatectl status                     
      Local time: Sal 2014-09-09 13:49:30 UTC
  Universal time: Sal 2014-09-09 13:49:30 UTC
        RTC time: Sal 2014-09-09 16:48:02
       Time zone: Europe/Istanbul (UTC, +0000)
     NTP enabled: no
NTP synchronized: no
 RTC in local TZ: no
      DST active: n/a

As you can see it shows Europe/Istanbul timezone as UTC +0 however it is UTC +3. That's why I can't fix my time using ntp nor changing time via settings. But my hardware clock seems to be true.

sudo LC_ALL=C hwclock --debug
hwclock from util-linux 2.25
Using the /dev interface to the clock.
Last drift adjustment done at 1410281024 seconds after 1969
Last calibration done at 1410281024 seconds after 1969
Hardware clock is on UTC time
Assuming hardware clock is kept in UTC time.
Waiting for clock tick...
...got clock tick
Time read from Hardware Clock: 2014/09/09 16:49:53
Hw clock time : 2014/09/09 16:49:53 = 1410281393 seconds since 1969
Tue Sep  9 16:49:53 2014  -0.734921 seconds

How can I fix that? Thanks.

Odd, it works on my system:

Re: [SOLVED]Wrong Time

Thanks for your answer
md5sum check says mine is wrong.

$: sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qo /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul
/usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul is owned by tzdata 2014f-1

$: md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul
c79354b8dbee09e62bbc3fb544853283  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul

$: uname -a

Re: [SOLVED]Wrong Time

Interesting, I see that tzdata was just updated today.  Try a pacman -Syu and let's see what happens.
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/any/tzdata/
I am updating my system and will get the new MD5 hash in a few moments

ewaller$@$odin ~ 1018 %md5sum /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul
56c26bbc53d7d8dc661da4ccfc1d78bf  /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Istanbul
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1019 %

Looks like it did not change with this update.
