Important EDOs that meet these requirements are [[53edo]] and [[72edo]]. Both of these have found a certain dissemination in middle-eastern music.

For turkish ~~musik~~, Ozan Yarman also proposes [[34edo]] and [[41edo]] as acceptable compromises. These have the property that the larger neutral second has a character close to a minor wholetone, and, playing the Rast maqam with it, the third note is less a neutral third than a 5/4-style major third. This matches the turkish variant of Rast which indeed has such a third - the arabic variant, however, is lower. 41edo and 34edo can thus be considered suited for turkish music but less so for arabic music.

And here we see another nemesis of the tentatives to establish a common tuning standard: there is not one middle-eastern system but many. There are not just differences between arabic and turkish systems but also regional differences within the respective cultures...
