STORYLINE:
Two separate marches commemorating the third anniversary of the fatal police shooting of a teenager in central Athens ended in clashes with riot police outside Parliament on Tuesday.
In the evening, more than a thousand anarchists taking threw stones, bottles and firebombs at the police, who replied with tear gas and stun grenades as Greek lawmakers debated the 2012 budget before a vote expected after midnight.
The rioters were part of a march staged by leftist groups in which more than 3,000 took part, according to a police spokesman.
Many of the marchers, who were not involved in the riot, dispersed and a few hundred continued their march past Parliament.
Riot police gave chase to the anarchists, who split in smaller groups.
Some have gathered at the site where 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos was fatally shot by a policeman on December 6, 2008 for a commemorative ceremony.
In a separate march earlier on Tuesday, about 2,000 students hurled rocks and bottles during at police, as well as smashing two nearby store fronts and three bus stops.
Other groups of teenagers attacked two suburban police stations with rocks and bottles.
Police reported 14 officers were injured; nine people were arrested and six detained, all in the early march.
A police spokesman said there were no reports of arrests yet from the evening march.
Some 5,000 police were on duty in the capital for Tuesday's rallies.
Violence was also reported in Greece's second-largest city, Thessaloniki, where police detained two people after a crowd of youths threw rocks at a government building.
There were also violent clashes in at least six other cities.
Grigoropoulos' death had sparked two weeks of the worst rioting the country had seen in decades.
Last year, a court sentenced a police officer to life in prison for his death, and a second officer to 10 years.
