Problem Statement

Let Ω\Omega and OO be the circumcircle and the circumcentre of an acute-angled triangle ABCABC with AB>BCAB > BC. The angle bisector of ABC\angle ABC intersects Ω\Omega at MBM \ne B. Let Γ\Gamma be the circle with diameter BMBM. The angle bisectors of AOB\angle AOB and BOC\angle BOC intersect Γ\Gamma at points PP and Q,Q, respectively. The point RR is chosen on the line PQP Q so that BR=MRBR = MR. Prove that BRACBR\parallel AC. (Here we always assume that an angle bisector is a ray.)
