Greek ultra-nationalists protested here on Tuesday at moves by traditional rivals Greece and Turkey to put forward a bid to co-host the 2008 European football championships.

Police said that up to fifty protesters gathered outside the Greek Football Federation headquarters, waving Greek flags and brandishing banners proclaiming"The demonstration was organised to coincide with a meeting of Greek football bosses to discuss the joint candidature, which was signed by both federations on November 16 in Istanbul.
