Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute angled triangle and let P,QP, Q be points on AB,ACAB, AC respectively, such that PQPQ is parallel to BCBC. Points X,YX, Y are given on line segments BQ,CPBQ, CP respectively, such that AXP=XCB\angle AXP = \angle XCB and AYQ=YBC\angle AYQ = \angle YBC. Prove that AX=AYAX = AY.
