ProKarelia

ProKarelia is a Finnish non-governmental organization (NGO), that works for the return to Finland of Finnish Karelia, Petsamo, Salla and some islands in Gulf of Finland ceded to the Soviet Union in past treaties in Moscow and Paris.

ProKarelia strives to make the Karelian question better known. Its principles are analytic, calm, peaceful and relevant action. ProKarelia's ideas do not include aggressive actions. The association does not participate in demonstrations.

ProKarelia publishes Internet pages in eight languages. It mails articles to decision-makers all over the world. ProKarelia also publishes the "Karelia Klubi" journal four times a year.
