Let $ABC$ be a fixed triangle. Three similar (by point order) isosceles trapezoids are built on its sides: $ABXY, BCZW, CAUV$, such that the sides of the triangle are bases of the respective trapezoids. The circumcircles of triangles $XZU, YWV$ meet at two points $P, Q$. Prove that the line $PQ$ passes through a fixed point independent of the choice of trapezoids.
