Problem Statement

Let ZZ and YY be the tangency points of the incircle of the triangle ABCABC with the sides ABAB and CACA, respectively. The parallel line to YZY Z through the midpoint MM of BCBC, meets CACA in NN. Let LL be the point in CACA such that NL=ABNL = AB (and LL on the same side of NN than AA). The line MLML meets ABAB in KK. Prove that KA=NCKA = NC.
