I don't think the article is without problems. But I believe that the collective set of articles on the Armenian Genocide present the consensus (was Genocide) and minority (was forced relocations which incidentally killed a fair number of people) opinions reasonably.
Moderate Turks - one of whom I worked with rather closely for several years, and several more of whom I know - agree that at the very least the situation is pretty close to what the Armenians and international experts have claimed based on the bulk of research and information. They blame Turkish domestic politics for the denialism, and think that absent the rather bizarre military / western / "western liberal" vs civil islamic dynamic that Turkey would come to grips with the history and admit it openly.

A key problem is the disruptive editing in the article. That needs to be addressed first.
