Problem Statement

Let ABCD ABCD be a parallelogram with \angle BAD \equal{} 60 and denote by E E the intersection of its diagonals. The circumcircle of triangle ACD ACD meets the line BA BA at KA K \ne A, the line BD BD at PD P \ne D and the line BC BC at LC L\ne C. The line EP EP intersects the circumcircle of triangle CEL CEL at points E E and M M. Prove that triangles KLM KLM and CAP CAP are congruent.
