A convex pentagon $APBCQ$ is given such that $AB < AC$. The circle $\omega$ centered at point $A{}$ passes through $P{}$ and $Q{}$ and touches the segment $BC$ at point $R{}$. Let the circle $\Gamma$ centered at the point $O{}$ be the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$. It is known that $AO \perp P Q$ and $\angle BQR = \angle CP R$. Prove that the tangents at points $P{}$ and $Q{}$ to the circle $\omega$ intersect on $\Gamma$.
