Problem Statement

Let ABC\triangle ABC be a triangle and ω\omega its circumcircle. The tangent to ω\omega through BB cuts the parallel to BCBC through AA at PP. The line CPCP cuts the circumcircle of ABP\triangle ABP again in QQ and line AQAQ cuts ω\omega at RR. Prove that BQCRBQCR is parallelogram if and only if AC=BCAC=BC.
