Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $k$. The points $A_1, B_1,$ and $C_1$ on $k$ are the midpoints of arcs $\widehat{BC}$ (not containing $A$), $\widehat{AC}$ (not containing $B$), and $\widehat{AB}$ (not containing $C$), respectively. The pairwise distinct points $A_2, B_2,$ and $C_2$ are chosen such that the quadrilaterals $AB_1A_2C_1, BA_1B_2C_1,$ and $CA_1C_2B_1$ are parallelograms. Prove that $k$ and the circumcircle of triangle $A_2B_2C_2$ have a common center.
[b]Comment.[/b] Point $A_2$ can also be defined as the reflection of $A$ with respect to the midpoint of $B_1C_1$, and analogous definitions can be used for $B_2$ and $C_2$.
