The line $\ell$ is perpendicular to the side $AC$ of the acute triangle $ABC$ and intersects this side at point $K$, and the circumcribed circle $\vartriangle ABC$ at points $P$ and $T$ (point P on the other side of line $AC$, as the vertex $B$). Denote by $P_1$ and $T_1$ - the projections of the points $P$ and $T$ on line $AB$, with the vertices $A, B$ belong to the segment $P_1T_1$. Prove that the center of the circumscribed circle of the $\vartriangle P_1KT_1$ lies on a line containing the midline $\vartriangle ABC$, which is parallel to the side $AC$. (Anton Trygub)
