Problem Statement

Let z1,z2,z3z_1, z_2, z_3 be pairwise distinct complex numbers satisfying z1=z2=z3=1|z_1| = |z_2| = |z_3| = 1 and 12+z1+z2+12+z2+z3+12+z3+z1=1.\frac{1}{2 + |z_1 + z_2|}+\frac{1}{2 + |z_2 + z_3|}+\frac{1}{2 + |z_3 + z_1|} =1. If the points A(z1),B(z2),C(z3)A(z_1),B(z_2),C(z_3) are vertices of an acute-angled triangle, prove that this triangle is equilateral.
