Problem Statement

Let A,B,CA',\,B',\,C' be points, in which excircles touch corresponding sides of triangle ABCABC. Circumcircles of triangles ABC,ABC,ABCA'B'C,\,AB'C',\,A'BC' intersect a circumcircle of ABCABC in points C1C,A1A,B1BC_1\ne C,\,A_1\ne A,\,B_1\ne B respectively. Prove that a triangle A1B1C1A_1B_1C_1 is similar to a triangle, formed by points, in which incircle of ABCABC touches its sides.
