Let $ABC$ be a triangle with circumcircle $\omega$. Let $l_B$ and $l_C$ be two lines through the points $B$ and $C$, respectively, such that $l_B \parallel l_C$. The second intersections of $l_B$ and $l_C$ with $\omega$ are $D$ and $E$, respectively. Assume that $D$ and $E$ are on the same side of $BC$ as $A$. Let $DA$ intersect $l_C$ at $F$ and let $EA$ intersect $l_B$ at $G$. If $O$, $O_1$ and $O_2$ are circumcenters of the triangles $ABC$, $ADG$ and $AEF$, respectively, and $P$ is the circumcenter of the triangle $OO_1O_2$, prove that $l_B \parallel OP \parallel l_C$.
