ATHENS (Reuters) - Thousands of Greeks protesting against austerity marched through the streets of Athens on Sunday to mark the 40th anniversary of a bloody student uprising against the then-ruling military junta.

The annual march, a focal point for anti-government protesters, comes as Greece's European Union and International Monetary Fund lenders begin a new round of talks in Athens to decide whether to disburse more money under its bailout.
