Points $A_1,B_1,C_1$ lie on sides $BC, CA, AB$ of an acute-angled triangle, respectively. Denote by $P, Q, R$ the intersections of $BB_1$ and $CC_1$, $CC_1$ and $AA_1$, $AA_1$ and $BB_1$. If triangle $PQR$ is similar to $ABC$ and $\angle AB_1C_1 = \angle BC_1A_1 = \angle CA_1B_1$, prove that $ABC$ is equilateral.
