Arithmetic progressions of twin primes of every length

An arithmetic progression of twin primes with ll terms is a sequence a+kba+kb, for k=0,1,,l1k=0,1,\ldots,l-1, whose terms are first members of twin-prime pairs, where aa and bb are positive integers.

Twin-prime progression conjecture. For every natural number ll with l>2l>2, there exist arithmetic progressions of twin primes with ll terms.

This is an analogue of the Green–Tao phenomenon for configurations formed by twin primes. It remains open because no theorem currently establishes such progressions for every length.
