Consider a triangle $ ABC $. On the line $ AC $ take a point $ B_1 $ such that $ AB = AB_1 $ and in addition, $ B_1 $ and $ C $ are located on the same side of the line with respect to the point $ A $. The bisector of the angle $ A $ intersects the side $ BC $ at a point that we will denote as $ A_1 $. Let $ P $ and $ R $ be the circumscribed circles of the triangles $ ABC $ and $ A_1B_1C $ respectively. They intersect at points $ C $ and $ Q $. Prove that the tangent to the circle $ R $ at the point $ Q $ is parallel to the line $ AC $.
