I need to go to USA for asylum but Airway personel saying "you can't go without any visa because IATA rules." How can I do?
I know I need to be in USA physically but I'm stuck here. Only US custom staff can ask my visa while entering USA borders. IATA rules against Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Turkish local laws too. I haven't travel freedom in practice. How can I leave here to fly to USA with my passport? Or is there any other option to apply for asylum in Turkey.

The desire to apply for asylum does not give you the right to enter the country where you wish to apply for asylum.
