Problem Statement

Let la,lb,lc l_a,l_b,l_c be three parallel lines passing through A,B,C A,B,C respectively. Let la l_a' be reflection of la l_a into BC BC. lb l_b' and lc l_c' are defined similarly. Prove that la,lb,lc l_a',l_b',l_c' are concurrent if and only if la l_a is parallel to Euler line of triangle ABC ABC.
