This could be very big indeed.

One concern that I have, that's not mentioned in the article, is that this is being carried out under the auspices of the Turkish government. Turkey has been militantly secularist since the time of Atatürk, and I don't know what effect that will have on the reception of this work. Also, from what I understand, Turkey is not popular among Arabs - they still remember the Ottoman occupation - or among Iranians - the Ottoman and Persian empires were rivals, often belligerent ones, for centuries.

Still, it will be interesting to see what comes of this.
