May I get off in an intermediate city of my route during transfer?
I want to go from Panamá to Turkey. There're direct flights of Turkish Airlines that are expensive. And there're flights Panamá -> Istambul -> Baku there're cheaper 2 times of the same airline. The transfer in Istambul takes 6 hours.
Will it be a violation if I buy a ticket Panamá -> Istambul -> Baku and leave in Istambul?

If you buy the ticket single-trip, then sure, you may get off at the intermediate stop. No one can stop you from doing that.
If your ticket is return, however, typically if you miss one section then all all your subsequent journey sections on that ticket would be cancelled. So, you still can do that, but you won't be able to get back from Istanbul.

Ask them to not check it all the way through and they would likely oblige, I think. At least they always did when I asked...

What you're describing is called "Hidden City Ticketing", where Istanbul is the "hidden" city between the others, but is the one that you're actually planning to travel to.
Hidden City Ticketing is generally not allowed under the rules of the airline, and there can be a number of traps to planning a hidden city trip (the most common two being check luggage and return tickets), but many people do make use of it as a way of obtaining cheaper tickets.
Rather than repeating myself, I'd suggest reading thought this blog post I wrote of this very subject that covers most of the details.
