Controversial Video Sparks Political Storm in Cyprus: Possible Turkish Involvement?

A political storm has erupted in Cyprus following the posting of a video on the 'X' platform by an unknown account, allegedly containing conversations between Lakotrypi, Charalambous, and Chrysoschoou with individuals interested in investing in Cyprus. Internet expert Dinos Passtos argues that the video was likely created with the intention of misleading. Passtos specifically points out linguistic elements in the video, such as the absence of a tone on the letter 'i' and the use of the Turkish character 'Ş', which suggest that the video may have been created by someone using a Turkish keyboard. This, according to Passtos, indicates possible Turkish involvement. Furthermore, Passtos estimates that the profile that posted the video is fake and had been prepared since December to cause political upheaval. He believes that the video is a tool for disinformation rather than proof of identity. In summary, Passtos emphasizes that language always leaves traces and that the video appears to have been deliberately created to mislead and cause a political storm.
