Problem Statement

Let ABCABC a triangle with circumcircle Γ\Gamma and RR a point inside ABCABC such that ABR=RBC\angle ABR=\angle RBC. Let Γ1\Gamma_1 and Γ2\Gamma_2 the circumcircles of triangles ARBARB and CRBCRB respectly. The parallel to ACAC that pass through RR, intersect Γ\Gamma in DD and EE, with DD on the same side of BRBR that AA and EE on the same side of BRBR that CC. ADAD intersect Γ1\Gamma_1 in PP and CECE intersect Γ2\Gamma_2 in QQ. Prove that APQCAPQC is cyclic if and only if AB=BCAB=BC
