Turkey's Ziraat Bank opened a new branch in Bulgaria on Wednesday in the town of Kardzhali, where the population is consisted mostly of ethnic Turks.

This is the bank's third branch in the country following branches in Sofia and Plovdiv.

The branch will help solve money transfer problems that Kardzhali people, especially those who have dual citizenship, have faced, bank officials said, as cited by the Turkish Weekly.

Ziraat Bank had started operations in Bulgaria in 1998. It plans to open three more branches in Bulgarian cities Varna, Burgas and Razgrad.
