Police clashed with protesters for a second day outside a meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, CNN's sister network, CNN Turk, reported Wednesday.

Demonstrators threw paving stones and vandalized parked cars, according to CNN Turk.

The violence came as top officials of the IMF and World Bank wrapped up their annual session and made a public call to establish a "new world order" of economic relations in the wake of the global economic crisis.

During Tuesday's protests, Turkish authorities said they arrested at least 80 demonstrators. The protesters set up make-shift barricades, briefly blocking major streets and threw Molotov cocktails.

On Tuesday, one Turkish newspaper headline read: "Socialists Under Smoke." Another paper headline announced: "While leaders are delivering speeches defending the struggle against poverty at the IMF meetings, protesters outside declared war on the IMF in the name of poverty."
