Dostyq Avenue (Kazakh: Достық даңғылы; from Kazakh "достық", meaning "friendship") is an avenue in Almaty, the largest city of Kazakhstan. Many Almaty residents still refer to Dostyk by its Soviet-era name, Lenin Avenue (uletsi Lenina). The road runs from the intersection Qazybek Bi near Park of 28 Panfilov Guardsmen until it merges with Gornaya Street.
