Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called on G20 countries to turn the global financial crises into opportunities.



"G20 can turn crisis into an opportunity," Erdogan told the global economic conference in the capital Ankara on Thursday.



Increasing inequality since the financial crisis must be addressed, particularly that for women, Erdogan told the world economic conference.



"Elimination of youth unemployment is also a priority of the G20, with the goal of decreasing it by 15 percent," Erdogan said, adding: "We have set up G20 agenda to address this employment issue."



The president also highlighted that Turkey was a successful example of integration with global economy and other emerging economies should follow a similar path.



He also asked the G20 countries to cooperate more to eliminate terrorism. "I invite the whole world to be sensitive and cooperate in the fight against terrorism," he said.
