Problem Statement

Let P P be the the isogonal conjugate of Q Q with respect to triangle ABC ABC, and P,Q P,Q are in the interior of triangle ABC ABC. Denote by O1,O2,O3 O_{1},O_{2},O_{3} the circumcenters of triangle PBC,PCA,PAB PBC,PCA,PAB, O1,O2,O3 O'_{1},O'_{2},O'_{3} the circumcenters of triangle QBC,QCA,QAB QBC,QCA,QAB, O O the circumcenter of triangle O1O2O3 O_{1}O_{2}O_{3}, O O' the circumcenter of triangle O1O2O3 O'_{1}O'_{2}O'_{3}. Prove that OO OO' is parallel to PQ PQ.
