However, regarding absence of training and necessary and required data among sellers and exporters and limited relationships with other countries and foreign banksdue to sanctions, they are not much willing to participate in this context. Its seems that by attracting foreign financial partners and financial support of the government in creation of equipped marketing websites, training of businessmen and producers, and legislation for copy right in the context of handmade carpet the grounds for introducing e-commerce of handmade carpet can be provided.
