Equidistribution conjecture for dense lattice orbits on compact homogeneous spaces

From papers

Let GG) be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center, let Γ\Gamma be a lattice in GG, and let YY be a compact homogeneous space of GG. Let KK be a maximal compact subgroup of GG, let dd be an invariant Riemannian metric on the associated symmetric space, and write GT={gG:d(K,Kg)<T}G_T=\{g\in G:d(K,Kg)<T\}. Equidistribution conjecture. Every dense orbit of Γ\Gamma in YY is equidistributed: there exists a smooth measure ν\nu on YY such that, for every yYy\in Y with Γy=Y\overline{\Gamma y}=Y and every Borel set ΩY\Omega\subset Y whose boundary has measure zero,

#{γΓ:γyΩ,d(K,Kγ)<T}Tν(Ω)Vol(GT)Vol(G/Γ).\#\{\gamma\in \Gamma:\,\gamma y\in \Omega,\,d(K,K\gamma)<T\}\sim_{T\to\infty}\nu(\Omega)\cdot\frac{\operatorname{Vol}(G_T)}{\operatorname{Vol}(G/\Gamma)}.

This would extend the preceding equidistribution theorem from projective homogeneous varieties to arbitrary compact homogeneous spaces; the source provides no resolution of the conjecture.
