Problem Statement

Three parallel lines passing through the vertices A,BA, B, and CC of triangle ABCABC meet its circumcircle again at points A1,B1A_1, B_1, and C1C_1 respectively. Points A2,B2A_2, B_2, and C2C_2 are the reflections of points A1,B1A_1, B_1, and C1C_1 in BC,CABC, CA, and ABAB respectively. Prove that the lines AA2,BB2,CC2AA_2, BB_2, CC_2 are concurrent.
