On the sides of the triangle $ABC$, three similar isosceles triangles $ABP \ (AP = PB)$, $AQC \ (AQ = QC)$, and $BRC \ (BR = RC)$ are constructed. The first two are constructed externally to the triangle $ABC$, but the third is placed in the same half-plane determined by the line $BC$ as the triangle $ABC$. Prove that $APRQ$ is a parallelogram.
