Problem Statement

Let ω\omega denote the circumscribed circle of an acute-angled ABC\triangle ABC with ABBCAB \neq BC. Let AA' be the point symmetric to the point AA with respect to the line BCBC. The lines AAAA' and ACA'C intersect ω\omega for the second time at points DD and EE, respectively. Let the lines AEAE and BDBD intersect at point PP. Prove that the line APA'P is tangent to the circumscribed circle of ABC\triangle A'BC.
