Problem Statement

Consider the triangle ABC\triangle ABC with ABACAB \not = AC. Let point OO be the circumcenter of ABC\triangle ABC. Let the angle bisector of BAC\angle BAC intersect BCBC at point DD. Let EE be the reflection of point DD across the midpoint of the segment BCBC. The lines perpendicular to BCBC in points D,ED,E intersect the lines AO,ADAO,AD at the points X,YX,Y respectively. Prove that the quadrilateral B,X,C,YB,X,C,Y is cyclic.
