Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle with circumcircle (O)(O). Let M,NM,N be the midpoint of arc AB,ACAB,AC which does not contain C,BC,B and let M,NM',N' be the point of tangency of incircle of ABC\triangle ABC with AB,ACAB,AC. Suppose that X,YX,Y are foot of perpendicular of AA to MM,NNMM',NN'. If II is the incenter of ABC\triangle ABC then prove that quadrilateral AXIYAXIY is cyclic if and only if b+c=2ab+c=2a.
