Points $P, Q, R$ were marked on the sides $BC, CA, AB$, respectively. Let $a$ be tangent at point $A$ to the circumcircle of triangle $AQR$, $b$ be tangent at point $B$ to the circumcircle of the triangle BPR, $c$ be tangent at point $C$ to the circumscribed circle triangle $CPQ$. Let $X$ be the point of intersection of the lines $b$ and $c, Y$ be the point the intersection of lines $c$ and $a, Z$ is the point of intersection of lines $a$ and $b$. Prove that the lines $AX, BY, CZ$ intersect at one point if and only if the lines $AP, BQ, CR$ intersect at one point.
