Problem Statement

Let ABC\vartriangle ABCbe a triangle and let Γ\Gamma its circumscribed circle. Let MM be the midpoint of the side BCBC and let DD be the point of intersection of the line AMAM with Γ\Gamma. By DD a straight line is drawn parallel to BCBC, which intersects Γ\Gamma at a point EE. Let NN be the midpoint of the segment AEAE and let PP be the point of intersection of CNCN with AMAM. Show that AP=PCAP = PC.
