Problem Statement

In the parallelogram ABCDABCD, ACBD=OAC \cap BD = { O }, and MM is the midpoint of ABAB. Let P(OC)P \in (OC) and MPBC=QMP \cap BC = { Q }. We draw a line parallel to MPMP from OO, which intersects line CDCD at point NN. Show that A,N,QA,N,Q are collinear if and only if PP is the midpoint of OCOC.
