Tighina Agreement

The Tighina Agreement (Romanian: Acordul de la Tighina; German: Tighiner Abkommen) was an agreement between Nazi Germany and Romania about administration, economy and security issues of the Transnistria Governorate that entered into force on 30 August 1941.

It was signed during World War II, while the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union was taking place.

Furthermore, it was agreed that until military operations ended, Romania could not evacuate its Jews east of the Southern Bug (that is, to lands under German control, as the river marked the eastern boundary of Transnistria).

[2] The agreement also allowed the German army to establish naval and air bases in Transnistria and periodically enter the region to perform "special jobs", referring to actions against its Jewish population.

Ion Antonescu, Conducător (leader) of Romania, planned to colonize Transnistria with Romanian settlers once the invasion of the Soviet Union and the extermination of the Jewish and Romani population in the region was completed to formally annex it.
