That does not sound close. The slavic* word for peace is me-r, "me" as in "me" and "r" is rolling "r". Mostly everyone can pronounce this correctly.

*Polish (and sometimes others) say "po-ko-i" instead, Ukrainian has a different pronunciation, Latvian (is balto-slavic, I know) adds "-s" at the end.
