Geometry Difficulty 8.0 Shortlist Prove it Hungary

In acute triangle ABCABC the feet of the altitudes are A1A_1, B1B_1 and C1C_1 (with the usual notations on sides BCBC, CACA and ABAB, respectively). The circumcircles of triangles AB1C1AB_1C_1 and BC1A1BC_1A_1 intersect the circumcircle of triangle ABCABC at points PAP\ne A and QBQ\ne B, respectively. Prove that lines AQAQ, BPBP and the Euler line of triangle ABCABC are either concurrent or parallel to each other.
