sorry I am not sure how to list all the threads, but it certainly raises questions about how we approach the subject on en.wikipedia.

The Turkish Wikipedia has no article on Armenian Genocide.
However, unlike all the other 38 Wikipedias which have articles on the "Armenian Genocide", it has an article on "Claims of an Armenian Genocide".
I'm sure that if German Wikipedia had "Holocaust" redirect to "Claims of a Holocaust", there'd be an outcry, but why doesn't the same thing happen about this article on Turkish Wikipedia?

Because there are not a bunch of rich Armenians in the US ready to make a fuss. The Holocaust was something of an exception.
