Problem Statement

Let ω\omega be incircle of ABCABC. PP and QQ are on ABAB and ACAC, such that PQPQ is parallel to BCBC and is tangent to ω\omega. AB,ACAB,AC touch ω\omega at F,EF,E. Prove that if MM is midpoint of PQPQ, and TT is intersection point of EFEF and BCBC, then TMTM is tangent to ω\omega. By Ali Khezeli
