Problem Statement

Let A1A_1 be the midpoint of the smaller arc BCBC of the circumcircle of the acute-angled triangle ABC.ABC.{} The point A1A_1 is reflected relative to the side BC,BC, and then its image is reflected relative to the bisector of BAC\angle BAC{} resulting in the point A2A_2 . Similarly, the points B2B_2 and C2C_2 are constructed. Prove that the circumcenter and incenter of the triangle ABCABC{} lie on the Euler line of the triangle A2B2C2.A_2B_2C_2.
