Point $ I_1$ is the reflection of incentre $ I$ of triangle $ ABC$ across the side $ BC$. The circumcircle of $ BCI_1$ intersects the line $ II_1$ again at point $ P$. It is known that $ P$ lies outside the incircle of the triangle $ ABC$. Two tangents drawn from $ P$ to the latter circle touch it at points $ X$ and $ Y$. Prove that the line $ XY$ contains a medial line of the triangle $ ABC$. [i]Author: L. Emelyanov[/i]
