Persian carpets

  • Spokesperson to Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) Ruhollah Latifi says Iran has exported hand-woven carpet worth $47.9m in the past eight months which shows only an $800m decline comparing to the same period last year.

  • A handicraft activist referring to Iran's presence in the Global Village Dubai:

    If countries such as Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Yemen are successful in supplying and exporting Iranian handicrafts in their own name, it indicates the fact that Iranian handicrafts have the capacity to supply world markets and should not be a weakness in production.
