Bill the dates you have may not be accurate because on the 8 th of August the Turks were in no position militarily to demand 34 percent of Cyprus, On the 8 th of August the Turkish advance was barily out of the 5 mile or 6 mile corridor and the corridor of Koneli.....And I was also under the impression that Clerides rejected the 'turkish demands at Geneva II hence the second major invasion in
august 14th in Famagusta.
Can only give the dates as they appear mate. Perhaps others will be able to find info from other sources. As to the military matters you raise, you have the advantage of first hand experience. My understanding at the time and from a very looooooong way away was that the talks gave the TA the chance to reinforce positions to advantage.
This link may give you a better idea of the timeframe and where the ta was on August 8th......
