Karelian question in Finnish politics



The Karelian question or Karelian issue (in Finnish Karjala-kysymys) is a dispute on the fringes of Finnish politics over whether or not to try to regain sovereignty over the Finnish Karelia and other territories ceded to Russia in the Winter War and the Continuation War. Despite the name "Karelian question", the term may refer to the return of also Petsamo, ceded parts of Salla and Kuusamo and four islands of Gulf of Finland.
