I said you need a citation. It appears you don't know what that means, because this is not a citation.

Here [1] is a citation which quite explicitly says:

"A Persian rug is one that is made specifically in Iran by skilled artisans. [...] A rug made in Turkey, Afghanistan, the Caucasus, Pakistan, India, or Nepal is not considered to be a Persian rug."

So, please do your part to stop spreading false information.

I think the personal attacks are rather uncalled for. It is extremely common for people to call oriental rugs as 'persian' rugs. Even wiki disagrees with your very limited view of what is a Persian rug [1]. To quote:

A Persian carpet (Middle Persian: bōb, Persian: فرش‎‎ farsh, meaning "to spread"; sometimes قالی qālī) is a heavy textile, made for a wide variety of utilitarian and symbolic purpose, produced in Iran and surrounding areas which once belonged to the Persian Empire, for home use, local sale, and export
