Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle. The incircle of triangle ABCABC touches the side BCBC at AA^{\prime}, and the line AAAA^{\prime} meets the incircle again at a point PP. Let the lines CPCP and BPBP meet the incircle of triangle ABCABC again at NN and MM, respectively. Prove that the lines AAAA^{\prime}, BNBN and CMCM are concurrent.
