Answer: true
Solution 
             
Given ABC is a isosceles triangle and AB = AC.

To Prove : XY\parallel BC
  Proof : AB = AC     (Given)
\angle ABC= \angle ACB
[  angle between chord of a circle and tangent is equal to angle made by chord in alternate segment]
Also \angle XAB= \angle ABC
\Rightarrow \angle XAB= \angle BCA
\Rightarrow XAY\parallel BC
i.e , \Rightarrow XY\parallel BC
Hence true
