Answer 4

I agree with tonalc1. There is already a country called Turkey what do you suggest we change that to Peru?

Answer 5

A guy posted a question before as why it is called Peru and not p***s. Is this you again? There is already a country named Turkey. You say something about speaking portuguese, does the word Peru mean turkey in portuguese? What's the connection? Please enlighten us! I cannot understand how you made the connection from Peru to turkey, unless you know of a language game here between two langauages where the sound peru menas turkey in another one!

Plus, there aren't many people from Turkey living in Peru so I keep scratching my head and cannot figure otu the connection!

Oh, the problems in recalling all the maps in the world, not to mention the Peruvian money.  Also, merriment would ensue when people wound up flying to the wrong country.
