Problem Statement

A quadrilateral ABCDABCD is inscribed into a circle ω\omega with center OO. Let M1M_1 and M2M_2 be the midpoints of segments ABAB and CDCD respectively. Let Ω\Omega be the circumcircle of triangle OM1M2OM_1M_2. Let X1X_1 and X2X_2 be the common points of ω\omega and Ω\Omega and Y1Y_1 and Y2Y_2 the second common points of Ω\Omega with the circumcircles of triangles CDM1CDM_1 and ABM2ABM_2. Prove that X1X2//Y1Y2X_1X_2 // Y_1Y_2.
