Armenian genocide with quotes?

An Armenian writer that wrote about the Armenian genocide that took place in 1915 has been shot dead in Turkey. I hope this event will get Turkey to look seriously at their extreme nationalists, and what they are promoting. What really caught my eye though was how BBC wrote “genocide” — i.e. with quotes around genocide, as if the matter was somehow in question.
