Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a circumscribed quadrilateral (i. e. a quadrilateral which has an incircle). The exterior angle bisectors of the angles DABDAB and ABCABC intersect each other at KK; the exterior angle bisectors of the angles ABCABC and BCDBCD intersect each other at LL; the exterior angle bisectors of the angles BCDBCD and CDACDA intersect each other at MM; the exterior angle bisectors of the angles CDACDA and DABDAB intersect each other at NN. Let K1K_{1}, L1L_{1}, M1M_{1} and N1N_{1} be the orthocenters of the triangles ABKABK, BCLBCL, CDMCDM and DANDAN, respectively. Show that the quadrilateral K1L1M1N1K_{1}L_{1}M_{1}N_{1} is a parallelogram.
