"c" ou pas le "c"
This question relates to:French lesson "Forming the feminine of adjectives ending in -c in French"
Asked 5 years ago
Because that's the way it is. Sorry for the curt reply, but there just is no reason. It's a language and not math :)

Not a definitive answer, just a hypothesis here. If one uses the name of the country as the root of the feminine adjective, la Turquie vs la Grèce, perhaps that could explain it ?
Interesting observation ! I hadn't noticed it before.
