I want to know the answer to the following question:
What group believes the terms Near East and Middle East denote the same territories?
All the background I'm provided with is that "According to the National Geographic Society, the terms Near East and Middle East denote the same territories and are 'generally accepted as comprising the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, Cyprus, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestinian territories, Syria, and Turkey'.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
