Problem Statement

Let MM{} be the midpoint of the side BCBC of the triangle ABCABC. The circle ω\omega passes through AA{}, touches the line BCBC at MM{}, intersects the side ABAB at the point DD{} and the side ACAC at the point EE{}. Let XX{} and YY{} be the midpoints of BEBE and CDCD respectively. Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle MXYMXY touches ω\omega.
