Problem Statement

Circle Γ\Gamma touches the circumcircle of triangle ABCABC at point RR, and it touches the sides ABAB and ACAC at points PP and QQ, respectively. Rays PQPQ and BCBC intersect at point XX. The tangent line at point RR to the circle Γ\Gamma meets the segment QXQX at point YY. The line segment AXAX intersects the circumcircle of triangle APQAPQ at point ZZ. Prove that the circumscribed circles of triangles ABCABC and XYZXY Z are tangent.
