No distinction is attached to birth among the Turks; the deference to be paid to a man is measured by the position he holds in the public service. There is no fighting for precedence; a man's place is marked out by the duties he discharges. In making his appointments the Sultan pays no regard to any pretensions on the score of wealth or rank, nor does he take into consideration recommendations or popularity, he considers each case on its own merits, and examines carefully into the character, ability, and disposition of the man whose promotion is in question. It is by merit that men rise in the service, a system which ensures that posts should only be assigned to the competent.

1.) In the first line, Busbecq writes, “No distinction is attached to birth among the Turks.” What does this phrase mean?

"No distinction is attached to birth among the Turks; the deference to be paid to a man is measured by the position he holds in the public service.", everyone is pretty much "equal" in a sense.

"There is no fighting for precedence", there is no fighting to be important

"In making his appointments the Sultan pays no regard to any pretensions on the score of wealth or rank, nor does he take into consideration recommendations or popularity, he considers each case on its own merits, and examines carefully into the character, ability, and disposition of the man whose promotion is in question", The Sultan (pretty much means king or ruler) does not base anyone by the cover of their book.
