Let $\triangle ABC$ be a triangle and $\omega$ its circumcircle. The tangent to $\omega$ through $B$ cuts the parallel to $BC$ through $A$ at $P$. The line $CP$ cuts the circumcircle of $\triangle ABP$ again in $Q$ and line $AQ$ cuts $\omega$ at $R$. Prove that $BQCR$ is parallelogram if and only if $AC=BC$.
