Some 3700 striking miners from the Chiatur Manganezi Company are going to walk to Kutaisi on Oct.30.

According to the miners they will make a protest before the Georgian Parliament and relate their problems to MPs.

"We are going to walk to Kutaisi to tell everyone about our problems. Our only hope is Bidzina Ivanishvili and his team. We are not going to break up and go down into the mines," miner Jemal Devadze said.

It should be recalled that Chiatur miners are demanding better wages and working conditions and have been on strike since Oct.15. Chiatura is located 40 kilometres from Kutaisi.
