Problem Statement

Let A0A1A2A3A4A5A_0A_1A_2A_3A_4A_5 be a convex hexagon inscribed in a circle. Define the points A0A_0', A2A_2', A4A_4' on the circle, such that A_0A_0' \parallel A_2A_4,   A_2A_2' \parallel A_4A_0,   A_4A_4' \parallel A_2A_0 . Let the lines A0A3A_0'A_3 and A2A4A_2A_4 intersect in A3A_3', the lines A2A5A_2'A_5 and A0A4A_0A_4 intersect in A5A_5' and the lines A4A1A_4'A_1 and A0A2A_0A_2 intersect in A1A_1'. Prove that if the lines A0A3A_0A_3, A1A4A_1A_4 and A2A5A_2A_5 are concurrent then the lines A0A3A_0A_3', A4A1A_4A_1' and A2A5A_2A_5' are also concurrent.
