Spanish Expert Aurelio Martin sees good prospects for Persian carpets in Euro

Economic news in brief (Nov. 23): "Spaniard sees good prospects for Persian carpets in Europe

TEHRAN – A Spanish carpet expert told IRNA on Tuesday that Persian carpets are still highly in demand in European markets although some countries have illegally copied Persian designs and tried to take away the business from Iran.

“In Spain, for instance, there has been a large increase in demands for Persian carpets in the past few years,” Aurelio Martin implied. He added that Iranian advertising agencies have had an important role in encouraging people to buy Persian carpets, which reflect the unique artistic background of ancient Persia according to Martin. “China, Pakistan, and India also export their carpets to Spain, but most of the customers prefer to buy the original brand, which is the Persian carpet,” Martin noted."
